Clustering of SARS-CoV-2 infections in households of patients diagnosed in the outpatient setting in Baltimore, MD

Abstract

Abstract In an outpatient cohort in Maryland, clustering of SARS-CoV-2 positivity within households was high, with 76% of 74 households reporting at least one other symptomatic person and 66% reporting another person who tested SARS-CoV-2 positive. SARS-CoV-2 positivity among household members was associated with larger household size and bedroom sharing.
