Abstract SARS-CoV-2 viral load (VL) can serve as a correlate for infectious virus presence and transmission. Viral shedding kinetics over the first week of illness for symptomatic children (n=279), adolescents (n=639) and adults (n=7109) show VLs compatible with infectious virus presence, with slightly lower VL in children than adults.
