Abstract

We assessed temporal changes in the household secondary attack rate of SARS-CoV-2 and identified risk factors for transmission in vulnerable Latino households of Baltimore, Maryland. The household SAR was 45.8%, and it appeared to increase as the alpha variant spread, highlighting the magnified risk of spread in unvaccinated populations.
