The WHO's head of emerging diseases said evidence from 'two or three' studies suggested people with symptoms should be the main focus.
How much coronavirus transmission comes from people with no symptoms is still a"big unknown", a World Health Organization scientist has clarified.
Although a proportion of people test positive with no symptoms, it is not known how many of these people go on to infect others. Looking at investigations of clusters of infections from various countries, she said that where an asymptomatic case had been followed up it was"very rare" to find secondary infections among their contacts.The uncertainties involved emphasise the importance of lockdown measures in"massively reduc[ing] the numbers of people infected," said Prof Liam Smeeth, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
