    Snippet: It is also possible that these data were influenced by the fact that early in the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, infections were associated with travel to outbreak areas (i.e. initially to Wuhan itself and later to the entirety of the Hubei province). Travel is much more likely to be undertaken by an adult in the family, rather than a child under the age of 16 years, potentially cofounding the results.

    Document: It is also possible that these data were influenced by the fact that early in the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, infections were associated with travel to outbreak areas (i.e. initially to Wuhan itself and later to the entirety of the Hubei province). Travel is much more likely to be undertaken by an adult in the family, rather than a child under the age of 16 years, potentially cofounding the results. To control for this factor, we reanalysed the data only including household transmission clusters where the index case had no history of travel or the whole family was located in (or had a history of travel) to an outbreak area. This resulted in a total 23 cases, two of which (9%) were identified as having a child as the index case in the cluster.
