Children do not seem to drive transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We isolated culture-competent virus in vitro from 12 (52%) of 23 SARS-CoV-2-infected children; the youngest was 7 days old. Our findings show that symptomatic neonates, children, and teenagers shed infectious SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that transmission from them is plausible.
儿童似乎不会传播严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)。我们从 23 名 SARS-CoV-2 感染儿童中分离出 12 例(52%)具有体外培养能力的病毒;年龄最小的为 7 天。我们的研究结果表明,有症状的新生儿、儿童和青少年会排出具有传染性的 SARS-CoV-2,这表明他们可能具有传播能力。
