To address this knowledge gap, we utilized a prospective registry of laboratory-confirmed pediatric COVID-19 cases and conducted contact tracing of household members to characterize the presumed transmission before and after the child's diagnosis. We defined the suspected index case as the first person (child or adult) to report symptoms or test positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the household, documented 14 days prior to, during, or after symptoms of other family members. Because pediatric patients are more likely to be asymptomatic or show mild symptoms, it has been challenging to define their role in SARS-CoV-2 household transmission, which this study aimed to address. In our study of child-to-adult transmission cases, children were symptomatic for at least 4 days prior to seeking care, the time period when they were most likely to be infectious to other household members 5,9 .	./cache/cord-331825-dwi350c0.txt	./txt/cord-331825-dwi350c0.txt
