We investigated the dynamics of illness among household members of SARS-CoV-2 infected children that received medical care (n=32). We identified 144 household contacts (HCs): 58 children and 86 adults. Forty-six percent of HCs developed symptoms consistent with COVID-19 disease. Child-to-adult transmission was suspected in 7 cases.
