*Adjusted OR with corresponding 95% CIs and p values from multivariable logistic regression. Analysis performed on 655 of 700 sampled individuals.

†For those aged 18 years or older: BMI ≥30 kg/m2; for those aged 6–17 years: BMI (body mass index) ≥IOTF (International Obesity Task Force) -30 cut-off points.

‡Other medical conditions including: asthma, other respiratory diseases, hypertension, heart disease, treated diabetes, treated cancer (excluding hormone therapy), HIV and immunodeficiency, chronic liver disease, chronic kidney disease, neuromuscular diseases.

§Clinical COVID-19 cases in the household: number of people, except the respondent, with clinical signs of COVID-19 (cough, fever), a positive RT-PCR test or who were consulted for suspected COVID-19 since 24 February 2020.

¶Model includes an interaction term: number of rooms×neighbourhood.
