Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic toll had reached an estimated 18.2 million excess deaths worldwide by the end of 2021.1 France was highly affected with approximately 174 000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths by July 1, 2023.2 This stresses the necessity to better understand the main drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, including the contribution of children to transmission within households to assess the relevance of child-targeted interventions, such as vaccination, mask-wearing, ventilation, repeated testing, hybrid education, or school closures.3-6 However, such assessments are difficult, given the large proportion of children with asymptomatic infections who remain undetected.7-11
