Younger children may be more likely to transmit COVID-19 to caregivers and other siblings in the house than older kids, a new study out of Canada found, with researchers pointing to behaviors while sick as a possible driving factor.
Data revealed that children ages 0 to 3 years old, although less likely to bring the infection into the house, were more likely to spread the virus to another member than those ages 14 to 17 years old. Children ages 4 to 8 also had increased odds to spread the virus, as did those ages 9 to 13, but the greatest was among the younger population.More Related News
