What Percentage of Those Infected with COVID-19 Show No Symptoms?
DUSHANBE, 10.06.2020. (NIAT Khovar) – Currently, the issue relating to those infected with COVID-19, but who exhibit no symptoms is still under study, although some information has been gathered over the last six months. This was stated yesterday by WHO epidemiologist Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove during a virtual press conference in Geneva.
According to estimates, the disease can occur without symptoms in 6-41 percent of those infected. The WHO brought the average figure to 16 percent.
According to Kerkhove, many of those who are considered asymptomatic carriers have clinical manifestations of the infection, but they are very minor and many simply do not notice them.
The second question is whether these people can infect others without coughing or sneezing. Experts believe that they can. To understand this, they identified who the person with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 had come into contact with, and calculated how many of them were also infected.
Such studies have been carried out in several countries, but so far only scarce information has been received. According to preliminary data, about 40 percent of those infected come to be so from asymptomatic carriers.
