Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is headline news around the world, as countries increase their testing and find out that, in many places, the majority — 78% in the United Kingdom — of those testing positive for the virus have no symptoms.
While some may later develop symptoms, BBC News said “this hammers home the role of people who aren’t aware they’re carrying the virus in spreading it onwards.” BBC also noted that “health and social care staff appeared to be more likely to test positive.”
