"While the asymptomatic spread of coronavirus does occur, the portion of asymptomatic transmission remains a big open question,” WHO emergency programmes executive director Dr Mike Rya said during the Q&A. Globally, studies have found that asymptomatic cases account for between five and 80 per cent of positives. The total number of tests conducted since the first case is now 100,683. Twenty more people were discharged from hospital, bringing the total number of recoveries to 873. Three more patients, however, succumbed to the virus, bringing the total number of fatalities in the country to 88.
