• A SARS-CoV-2 outbreak was identified in a nursery in Poland in late May. The index case was a nursery worker who reported family contact with a symptomatic SARS-CoV-2-infected person, resulting in a cluster of 29 cases and positivity among 27% of contacts (compared to national estimates of 1%). Twelve of those infected were children’s family members who did not enter the facility; one child with a negative result had 2 parents with positive results.
