“…Despite precautions, it is very difficult to avoid exposing other members of the household to the virus. However, numerous cases have shown that the infection of one person does not necessarily result in transmission to all members of the household ( Grijalva et al, 2020 ). Clearly, some individuals are resistant to contracting the infection, although the current state of knowledge is insufficient to explain why.…”

“…Household transmission occurs rapidly after an index case introduces the infection and with high household attack rates, can originate from both children and adults 19 , and are associated with high rates of hospitalization and death. 2,5,6 Early in the US pandemic, even when mask use was recommended and became the norm outside the home, and even in areas where stay at home orders had been put in place, mask use inside the home or other at-home risk mitigation measures were not recommended except in situations where there were ill/infected persons (when 10-14 days of isolation using a separate bedroom and bathroom was recommended to reduce household transmission). However, because of household crowding, a lack of space in the households, or a need to go to work, provide childcare, or care for other household/family measures, isolation of ill/infected persons and quarantine of those who have had a high risk exposure (e.g., to a confirmed case) is not always feasible, and other risk mitigation measures (e.g., mask wearing, opening windows) are therefore needed.…”

“…3 , However, these measures may have resulted in shifting the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to within household settings where high attack rates can occur, with high rates of hospitalization and death. [4][5][6][7] Crowded households can be environments conducive to transmission due to difficulties in maintaining physical distance and effective isolation, 8,9 and when infected household members have pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic infection.…”
