Heavy Exposure of Children Aged 9-12 Years With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Did Not Lead to Infection

Enno Schmidt, Katja Steinhagen, Jan Rupp

Abstract

The reason for the apparently lower infection rate of children with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) compared to adults is still unclear. Here, we report on 4 schoolchildren with heavy exposure to SARS-CoV-2 with no clinical signs of coronavirus disease 2019, repeated negative nasopharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 RNA, and no seroconversion.
