   Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

   However, our findings are subject to at least three limitations. First, this was a retrospective observational study with selection and recall bias. Second, the participating household contacts were predominantly non-Hispanic White with a college degree and therefore not representative of the general population. Third, differential misclassification leading to SAR underestimation might have occurred as not all household contacts were tested for SARS-CoV-2, test results were self-reported, and many contacts were tested only once and could have been tested too early. Alternatively, SAR could have been overestimated due to inability to distinguish household or community SARS-CoV-2 infection source, and between secondary and tertiary household transmission. In this investigation, school-aged children and adolescents with COVID-19 transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to other children and adults in the household setting, with 10% of secondary adult cases requiring hospitalization. These findings highlight the importance of implementing effective public health guidelines to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission in all settings, including settings with children. Children and adolescents should remain at home, ≥6 feet apart from contacts, and have a separate sleeping space and bathroom following a known COVID-19 exposure or diagnosis. In communities with active SARS-CoV-2 spread, and particularly in congregate settings, children and adolescents should wear masks if safe to do so and maintain at least si...
