People who have the coronavirus but don’t display symptoms aren’t driving the spread of the pandemic, World Health Organization officials said Monday.
“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing in Geneva, CNBC reported.
Health officials warned early on that asymptomatic carriers could be fueling the spread by stealth –but Van Kerkhove said that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way the virus was being transmitted.
“We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing,” she said. “They’re following asymptomatic cases. They’re following contacts. And they’re not finding secondary transmission onward. It’s very rare,” she said.

Check the source. This report is from the WHO, a thoroughly corrupt agency aiding and abetting the most evil country in the world today, Communist China.
not to be confused with pre symptomatic
It has been proven than coronavirus is NOT contagious and is not spread by contact. It is transmitted by bacteria scattered in the air from the WHO’s lab into neighborhoods. Not one member from large families or groups with an adult who had coronavirus (whatever that is…) became sick. What does that show?
virus vs bacteria???
This is completely false information
It’s false information? So how can you explain that there’s not one family that have all or most adults and children of that family sick in the hospital if one of them is sick?
Are you crazy? WHO’s lab is spreading bacteria into neighborhoods?! (Coronavirus is a virus, not bacteria. Shows how uninformed you are. There are not any WHO labs anywhere remotely close to my neighborhood. Yet I clearly caught it from exposure to a friend. It IS definitely contagious. There may be debate as to how contagious, but to say it is not contagious shows a warped mind and is dangerous. I suspect that you are a member of the anti-establishment (Ani V’afsi Od) religion who have been targeted by the millionaires who sell natural products and target gullible people. Hashem should have rachamanus on you and open your mind to reality.
If you’re so smart, so intelligent and so open-minded, how about an answer to 12:38’s question above?
Asymptomatic transmission (not to be confused with pre-symptomatic transmission which can be stamped out with very rigorous contact tracing) was indeed rare with H1N1, SARS and MERS. Good luck to those who are sure about COVID19 being similar despite the data saying otherwise, especially if they don’t ordinarily trust WHO but on this issue they will.
The data saying otherwise means nothing. We have proven again and again how WHO and the CDC as well as doctors lied to us.
in an practical terms it means NOTHING when people leave their homes even when ……..they do not feel well
No no no. This is terribly misleading. It’s still assur to daven with a legal safe Minyan. One must lock themselves in their homes, at least till 2030. You must still continue to glare out your window with hate for those who you see happily going about their business.

Idiot, prove it it’s contagious if no one in households are contracting it from a sick member. Let’s hear.
Secondly, or firstly, what is coronavirus? Not a single doctor can tell you. Can you?
Idiot, have some shame and prove us what were the funerals and what are the “communicated” asking money for the bereaved. I do wish all of those were fake, but they are not.
First of all, most people who contract coronavirus do not end up in the hospital. I know many families in which many members contracted the virus. My brother, his wife, and at least 3 of his children were infected. Both of my parents were infected. So did many others I know. Stop making up lies.
I fail to understand why according to you that WHO spread bacteria in the air, how come only one member of families caught the sickness. Did they go out and zap one person per household? If it is in the neighborhood air then it should have affected many members of many families the same.
Hashem sent a disease to the world, and the doctors have not been able to figure it out. That doesn’t mean there is no virus. It only means that Hashem is showing us that even the smartest can only figure out what he allows them to figure out. The passuk says אם תלכו עמי קרי אף אני אלך עמכם בחמת קרי. Don’t be that person who can’t look within himself and would rather blame what’s happening on anything but a virus sent from Shamayim. Denying reality is very dangerous. Hashem sent a virus because He wants us to do teshuva. He doesn’t want us to say the whole thing is fake news. WAKE UP!
First of all, if you claim WHO spread it through the air, can you explain why only one person per family caught it. Did they intentionally zap one person per household?
Secondly your claim that it did not spread through families is false. At least 5 members of my brother’s household caught it. Both of my parents had it. Most of my neighbor’s household had it. My Rosh Hayeshiva and his wife had it. Five members of my son’s chavrusah’s family had it. And the list goes on. That is the way of deniers. First you decide what you want to say and then you concoct nonexistent facts and studies!
Doctors definitely don’t understand how the virus works. Hashem is apparently showing them that doctors only understand what He allows them to understand. WHO definitely are liars. But that doesn’t change the facts that Hashem sent a deadly virus into the world. The passuk says אם תלכו עמי קרי אף אני אלך עמכם בחמת קרי. Hashem wants us to get the message and do teshuva. Denying the existence of a virus, and just deflecting everything on others is unfortunately a קיום of the passuk.
