Herein, we report a 3-family cluster study of eight patients associated with asymptomatic and pauciasymptomatic (one mild symptom only) SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Shandong Province, China. The first positive SARS-CoV-2 patients in this cluster were identified on January 21, 2020 triggering an epidemiological investigation by the local center for disease control and prevention. Our findings show that the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by individuals with asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic infections is possible. Patient 5 (asymptomatic) was identified to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 after frequent contact with Patients 3 and 4 during work and home visits. In this study, we detected SARS-CoV-2 in two environmental swabs from the household of Patient 3.
