Characteristics associated with household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Ontario, Canada 2020-10-26 .txt text/plain 5183 291 54 From adjusted logistic models, we observed increased odds of any household transmission with longer testing delays for the index case compared to 0-day (i.e., the individual was tested on the same day as their symptom onset) testing delays (ORs: 1-day delay=2·02, 2-day delay=1·96, 3-day delay=2·36, 4-day delay=2·64, ≥5-day delay=3·02) (Figure 3 , Supplementary Table S4 ). In this retrospective study of 26,152 confirmed cases of COVID-19 residing in 21,226 private households, we found that longer testing delays and male sex were associated with greater odds of household secondary transmission, while being a healthcare worker or linked to a known outbreak was associated with lower odds of household transmission. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the associations between index case delay metrics and odds of household transmission 269 cases were excluded from the testing delay models that had COVID-19 symptoms flagged in provincial reportable disease systems but were missing symptom onset date. ./cache/cord-350519-3h5ipcwn.txt ./txt/cord-350519-3h5ipcwn.txt
