Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: between March and October 2020, living with young children was associated with an attenuated risk of any COVID-19 and COVID-19 requiring hospitalisation among adults living in healthcare worker households.

Reviewers’ commentary: although the risk of COVID-19 requiring hospitalisation in adults exposed to young children did not reach statistical significance, increased household exposure to young children has not been associated with an increased risk of COVID-19, even during periods when schools were open and there was active transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the community.
