Coronavirus patients without symptoms aren’t driving the spread of the virus, World Health Organization officials said Monday. Asymptomatic patients are those people who do not show symptoms of the novel coronavirus or only develop mild symptoms. According to CNBC media, WHO officials have claimed that asymptomatic spread is not the main way the virus is being transmitted. The trend has been similar since then with asymptomatic patients making the larger portion of the positive cases. Preliminary evidence from the earliest outbreaks indicated that the virus could spread from person-to-person contact, even if the carrier didn't have symptoms.
