New Evidence Suggests Young Children Spread Covid-19 More Efficiently Than Adults
(Posted on Monday, August 3, 2020)

The first, which was published in JAMA yesterday, reports findings from a pediatric hospital in Chicago, Illinois. The second, a preprint manuscript awaiting peer review, was conducted in the mountainous province of Trento, Italy.
