Coronavirus patients without symptoms aren’t driving the spread of the virus, the WHO says.
Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, the World Health Organization said.
Some people, particularly young and otherwise healthy individuals, who are infected by the coronavirus never develop symptoms or only develop mild symptoms. Others might not develop symptoms until days after they were actually infected. Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, and tracking anyone who might have come into contact with them, Van Kerkhove said. She acknowledged that some studies have indicated asymptomatic or presymptomatic spread in nursing homes and in household settings.
If asymptomatic spread proves to not be a main driver of coronavirus transmission, the policy implications could be tremendous. A report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventioncited the "potential for presymptomatic transmission" as a reason for the importance of social distancing.
