Key Points Question What is the possible role of children in SARS-CoV-2 transmission? Findings This cohort study including 63 children and 118 adults found no significant difference between the number of children and the number of adults testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection during the study period; children were asymptomatic significantly more often compared with adults (46% vs 13%). In addition, a reconstruction of the outbreak showed that most transmission events originated from within the school. Meaning These results suggest that children may play a larger role in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 than previously assumed.
