Key Points Question What are the risk factors associated with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 and rhinovirus infection in King County, Washington, from June 2020 to July 2022? Findings In this case control study with a test-negative design of 23 498 participants, reporting close contact with a SARS-CoV-2 case was the strongest risk factor associated with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, while young age was associated with a positive rhinovirus test. Sociodemographic disparities were present for both SARS-CoV-2 and rhinovirus. Meaning These findings suggest that monitoring risk factors associated with respiratory pathogen test positivity remains important to identify at-risk populations in the post–SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period.
