Abstract:

In the midway of the pandemic, understanding transmission dynamics for SARS CoV-2 infection is important to stop the chain of transmission; chances of spread of infection is increased at household setting owing to the duration of contact with an infected person, high viral load, and various sociodemographic factors, so early case identification and separation of close contacts help in the prevention of the spread of infection.
