Medically Attended RSV Illnesses

Day Care Virus Transmission Study with University of Pittsburgh

The overall goal of this study is to describe the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 transmission among children in child care, their child care providers, and their household contacts in order to create evidence-based policies and practices for safely operating group child care. Participating children and providers are swabbed weekly and complete regular surveys. The specific objectives to accomplish the overall goal are to:

  1. Determine prior SARS-CoV-2 infection,
  2. Detect new infections, and
  3. Detect secondary infections.
