Asymptomatic cases are those who carry the virus but display no symptoms of illness such as fever. There were no immediate further details about the 12 cruise ship cases from the WHO.
“We know that is possible but we do not believe that is a major driver of transmission,” she told a Geneva news briefing. Through tracing people exposed to the virus in some countries, people who have not yet developed symptoms are being identified, she said. “So these are people who are pre-symptomatic, so it is a few days before they develop symptoms,” she added.
The 12 cases were diagnosed after a Taiwanese American woman who had been on the cruise tested positive for the coronavirus upon her return home, the statement said.
