A recent study from the ONS found that kids ages 12-16 were seven times as likely as those older than 17 to be the first case in their household and children ages 2-16 were twice as likely as those over the age of 17 to spread the virus to family members. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tfc-children-and-transmission-update-paper-17-december-2020
