Child care centers are not spreading COVID-19 at significant rates to caregivers or other children at the center. That is part of the findings of Dr. Timothy Shope, MD, MPH, a professor of pediatrics at the Pitt School of Medicine and a pediatrician at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. The findings from Dr. Shope's team of researchers were published today in JAMA Network Open. Among other things, they found rates of transmission of COVID-19 are much higher at home (50% among children) than they are at child care centers (at only 2% to 3%.)
