Health & ScienceThe report by the World Health Organisation also noted little evidence that the virus is airborne. There is no clear evidence that asymptomatic people can transmit the coronavirus, a global health report has detailed. “There is also the possibility of transmission from people who are infected and shedding virus but have not yet developed symptoms; this is called pre-symptomatic transmission,” WHO says. The global health body notes that some people who get infected with the coronavirus do not ever develop any symptoms. However, viable virus was not found after day eight post onset of symptoms for mild patients, though this may be longer for severely ill patients.
