CDC study:kids easily spread coronavirus from day care to parents and others

Very scary for parents with young children.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is providing more evidence of how easily children can pick up COVID-19 in a group setting and infect family members at home.

Twelve children who were infected with COVID-19 at daycare centers in Utah passed the virus on to at least another 12 people between them, according to a CDC analysis of outbreaks in that state.

One mother had to be hospitalized after presumably being infected by her child, the study said.

Other studies have looked at whether children could be important carriers of COVID-19. Children with only mild symptoms, or experiencing no symptoms, can spread the coronavirus for weeks, suggests a recent study that looked at children in 22 South Korean hospitals. The paper was recently published on the website of JAMA Pediatrics.
