Higher viral load drives infrequent SARS-CoV-2 transmission between asymptomatic residence hall roommates

Bjorkman KK, Saldi TK, Lasda E, et al. - This study was undertaken to demonstrate COVID spread, ascertaining transmission rate, and defining factors that increase transmission risk, are essential.

This study’s findings demonstrate that inter-roommate transmission occurs infrequently in residence halls and provides strong correlative evidence that viral load is proportional to transmission probability.
