Quantifying Viral Load in Respiratory Particles That Are Generated by Children and Adults With COVID-19 Infection
Recruiting
The study will be a prospective cohort design to determine if children generate aerosols that harbor a viral load similar to adults. Prior to beginning enrollment, researchers may recruit up to 10 participants (adults or children who meet inclusion criteria for the main study) to perform a small pilot to optimize our cold chain and laboratory procedures.
