A report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday states that children transmit coronavirus to their family members after childcare facilities.
The study looked at data collected from contact tracing during an outbreak of COVID-19 infection in three Sult Lake City, Utah, child care facilities between April and July.
The CDC report stated in its findings that “twelve children received Covid-19 in the childcare facility.”
The report investigated the case and found that 12 children who contracted COVID-19 at the facilities transmitted the virus to at least a dozen of the 46 parents or siblings who came into contact at home. According to the report, one child was only 8 months old and both parents were infected, challenging the belief that people under the age of 10 are less likely to be transmitters of the virus.

“In all three facilities, infected children did not show signs of relaxation. The CDC said two of the three asymptomatic children are likely to be infected with SARS-CV-2 in their parents and possibly their teachers. “One parent had to be hospitalized,” the report said.
The aim of the study was to gain a better understanding of SARS-Cavi-2 virus transmission from young children by pre-reviewing the data collected by contact children.
The study authors said in a CDC report that detailed contact information shows that children can play a role in everything from childcare arrangements to transmission to home contacts.
This study suggests the importance of staying at home when a member of the household is therapeutic. Explaining how a staff member at a child care facility studied what is known as an index case, patient A1, while any member of the employee member’s family showed symptoms nine days before patient A1 easily showed symptoms. . 19 infections. Patients A1 self-quarantined one day after experiencing symptoms, the report said, and tested positive a few days later.
The report states that three days after the onset of symptoms of Patient A1, another staff member (Patient A2) experienced symptoms and a day later the result of the Saras-Kovi-2 examination.
The Federal Health Agency recommends that those who work in child care programs use face masks, especially when children are too young to wear facial masks. The CDC also recommended frequent cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces, proper hand washing techniques, and staying at home while therapeutic in an effort to reduce illness or novel coronavirus transmission to any member of the household.

Testing of children, including children with congenital malformations who have been exposed to confirmed COVID-19 cases in childcare settings, may help reduce the transmission of SARS-COV-2 from those children to family members, the report said.
The authors report that SARS-Cavi-2 testing is available, with timely results and testing of childcare patients’ contacts, regardless of symptoms, help prevent transmission and provide a better understanding of the role children play in transition. .
