Two coronavirus studies came to the same conclusion: Many of the people who tested positive for the virus didn't know it they had it because they showed no symptoms
- Two coronavirus studies released Friday -- one involving almost 2,000 people from Florida and the other from a Washington state nursing home -- came to the same conclusion: Many of the people who tested positive for the virus didn't know it they had it because they showed no symptoms.
In comparison, the Florida Department of Health says 10,701 people have tested positive in Miami-Dade County. "Identifying the number of asymptomatic individuals is critically important for public health," Gimenez said."Like I have said before, those are the folks who can pass on the virus to the most vulnerable."
In the study released Friday, more than half of the residents at a nursing home tested positive for coronavirus without showing symptoms. Most coronavirus tests look for snippets of genetic material from the virus, so positive tests don't always mean someone is infectious.
