Secondary Attack Rate and Family Clustering of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection in Children of Healthcare Workers With Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

We measured serum SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in 215 children of healthcare workers to estimate secondary attack rates. Twenty-one families had a parent with confirmed COVID-19. There was strong evidence of family clustering (P  < .001): 20/21 (95.2%) children were seropositive in 9 families and none of 23 children in 12 other families. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
