RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To characterize SARS-CoV-2 transmission following a COVID-19 outbreak in an emergency childcare centre (ECCC) in April 2020 in Quebec, Canada. METHODS: The study population consisted of all the children and employees who attended the ECCC as well as household contacts of the confirmed COVID-19 cases. Of the 120 individuals in the study, five cases were confirmed by epidemiological link and 25 were identified as COVID-19 by RT-PCR among which 19 were analyzed by viral whole genome sequencing. Descriptive epidemiology, social network visualization, and phylogenetic analysis were used to characterize viral transmission. RESULTS: Phylogenetic analysis identified two separate introductions of distinct lineages of SARS-CoV-2 and estimated an average effective reproductive number of Re = 1.9 (range 0.9-4.9) with a mean doubling time of 3.2 days (range 2.1-5.2). The first and most prevalent lineage was introduced by two asymptomatic children who were likely infected by their parent, a confirmed COVID-19 case working in a long-term care centre. Among infected household adults, attack rates were significantly higher in mothers than in fathers (risk ratio = 4.5; 95% CI 1.1-18.7). The extent of transmission makes it one of the largest documented outbreaks in a daycare in Canada. CONCLUSION: The analyses carried out showed the probable origin and direction of the transmission of the infection (adult-child, child-adult, and child-child), thus highlighting how asymptomatic children can efficiently transmit SARS-CoV-2.


RéSUMé: OBJECTIF: Caractériser la transmission du SRAS-CoV-2 à la suite d'une éclosion de COVID-19 dans un service de garde d'urgence en milieu scolaire (SGUMS) en avril 2020 au Québec, Canada. MéTHODES: La population à l'étude était composée de tous les enfants et employés ayant fréquenté le SGUMS ainsi que les contacts familiaux des cas confirmés de COVID-19. Sur les 120 personnes à l'étude, cinq cas ont été confirmés par lien épidémiologique et 25 par RT-PCR. Parmi ces derniers, 19 ont été analysés par séquençage viral du génome entier. La caractérisation de la transmission a été réalisée à l'aide d'analyses descriptives et phylogénétiques ainsi que de la visualisation de réseaux sociaux. RéSULTATS: L'analyse phylogénétique a identifié deux introductions de lignées distinctes du SRAS-CoV-2 et un taux de reproduction net Re = 1,9 (étendue 0,9­4,9) avec un temps moyen de doublement de 3,2 jours (étendue 2,1­5,2). La première lignée, et la plus répandue, a été introduite par deux enfants asymptomatiques qui ont probablement été infectés par leur parent, un travailleur de la santé atteint de COVID-19. Dans les noyaux familiaux, les taux d'attaque étaient significativement plus élevés chez les mères que chez les pères (rapport de risque = 4,5 ; IC à 95 % 1,1­18,7). L'ampleur de la transmission en fait de celle-ci la plus importante éclosion documentée dans un service de garde au Canada. CONCLUSION: Cette étude a permis de déterminer l'origine et la direction probables de la transmission de l'infection (adulte-enfant, enfant-adulte et enfant-enfant) et démontrer que les enfants asymptomatiques peuvent transmettre le SRAS-CoV-2.

RESUMO

The Chair on Health Inequality is one of the 12 Chairs created by the CHSRF. Resulting from a partnership between l'Université de Montréal, together with the Direction de la santé publique of the Régie régionale de la santé et des services sociaux Montréal-centre, the Chair will create a research program that will document and assess the role of public health programs based on social development in urban districts, in reducing social health inequality. This research infrastructure will support two training programs: 1) a post-doctoral training program that will introduce newly minted social science PhDs to collaborative research in public health; and 2) a professional doctorate program for public health professionals. The decision-makers and policy-makers targeted by the Chair's knowledge diffusion program are Directors of public health organizations.
