Testing in the emergency department (ED) at a New York City hospital revealed, unexpectedly, that people with higher viral loads of the novel coronavirus were less likely to require hospital admission, new evidence reveals.

The duration of SARS-CoV-2 is significantly longer in stool samples than in respiratory and serum samples, highlighting the need to strengthen the management of stool samples in the prevention and control of the epidemic, and the virus persists longer with higher load and peaks later in the respiratory tissue of patients with severe disease.

Government policy is aimed at reducing transmission of covid-19 between family units, but less attention has been given to transmission between family members
Evidence from controlled experiments in animal models, viral genome studies, and other epidemics suggests the infecting viral load may be important
A web based intervention has been shown to reduce incidence, transmission, and severity of seasonal flu
Use of such behavioural interventions could support public health advice to improve infection control in families
