We estimated a low, 1-2%, prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among children without symptoms of COVID-19 and there were no secondary transmission events among HCW exposed to these patients We conducted a point prevalence survey for SARS-CoV-2 among hospitalized children around the time of predicted peak community COVID-19 activity in Chicago. All inpatient children were included with the following exceptions: children known to be SARS-CoV-2-positive; children tested within the previous 72 hours because of clinical suspicion for COVID-19 and were SARS-CoV-2-negative; contraindications to obtaining a nasopharyngeal sample; or parents declined participation. A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 4 An exposure workup was conducted for all HCW who had significant contact with any patient who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on our point prevalence. ./cache/cord-285459-fph03r22.txt ./txt/cord-285459-fph03r22.txt
