In ‘ the association between contact with children and the clinical course of COVID-19 [1] ’ Jannuzzi et al . examined the association between contact with children and the clinical course of COVID-19 among COVID-19-positive patients who were hospitalised vs. patients who were not hospitalised. The study hypothesis was that non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients have greater contact with children compared with hospitalised patients. The study did not find an association between contact with children and rates of hospitalisation after adjusting for multiple covariates. We also note that the hospitalisation was lower for patients with multiple concurrent child contact types (home and school) when compared with patients with no contact (20 vs. 72). Results from this study were surprising as we expected opposite results because of the higher likelihood of infection from multiple sources. We hope authors will provide rea-soning
