BEIJING - China for the first time publicised a breakdown of people testing positive for the new coronavirus without outward signs of being sick, revealing that those among them who remain symptom-free throughout infection are in the majority.
Some 1,023 are still being monitored in medical quarantine to see if they develop symptoms. The rest - 4,444 of them - have been discharged from medical observation after recovering from the virus. While researchers earlier thought that most patients ultimately end up developing symptoms, the indication from China's data that a sizeable group remains symptom-free throughout infection underscores the challenge of containing the widening pandemic.
For months, a fever and dry cough were understood to be the disease's main markers, and it has only recently emerged that a loss of smell and taste is also a sign of infection. China has not disclosed the range of symptoms it looks for.
