Symptom timing, symptom type, cycle threshold values, and viral culture results among household contacts positive for SARS-CoV-2 by rRT-PCR in study of initial virus shedding in SARS-CoV-2, Utah, USA, April–May 2020. The symptom onset and progression of 7 SARS-CoV-2–positive household contacts in households 2 and 5 (HH-02 and HH-05), who tested positive by real-time reverse transcription PCR, are detailed from first symptom onset to the end of the daily swabbing period (days 0–4). Fading bars indicate symptoms persisting after day 5. CSTE, Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists; Ct, cycle threshold; rRT-PCR, real-time reverse transcription PCR; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
