aPercentages are row percentages. Single viral detection was defined as a nasal swab specimen collected from a unique participant in which only 1 respiratory pathogen was detected over the study period. Single viral codetection was defined as a nasal swab specimen collected from a unique participant in which >1 respiratory pathogen was concurrently detected over the study period. Multiple viral detections were defined as ≥2 positive nasal swab specimens collected at distinct time points from the same participant over the study period, ≥7 days apart when different pathogens were detected and ≥14 days apart when pathogens were the same.
