when the head of its emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, said during a briefing that transmission of the novel coronavirus by asymptomatic carriers is"very rare."briefing on COVID-19 virus at the WHO headquarters in Geneva on March 11, 2020. - WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced on March 11, 2020 that the new coronavirus outbreak can now be characterised as a pandemic.
While the comments drew questions from experts on Twitter, it may simply be an issue of semantics, with Dr. Isaac Bogoch and Dr. Allan Detsky of the University of Torontopointing out the misuse of the term"asymptomatic" when referring to"presymptomatic" patients. While asymptomatic people never show signs of the coronavirus, presymptomatic people exhibit no signs of contracting the disease for the first few days before experiencing the classic symptoms.out the distinction and noted that the agency"should be clearer in communication, also noting that some models"suggest 40-60% of spread is from people when they didn't have symptoms."
The fact that symptoms aren't immediately present in people that have contracted the virus is a key reason for containment measures and safety protocols like masks, with the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention writing in April,"The potential for presymptomatic transmission underscores the importance of social distancing, including the avoidance of congregate settings, to reduce Covid-19 spread.
Van Kerkhove also stated that seemingly asymptomatic carriers just didn't recognize the signs of the virus:"When we actually go back and say, 'How many of them were truly asymptomatic?' we find out that many have really mild disease, very mild disease.
