Lea A. Nikolai scite author profile

Highlights Characteristics of asymptomatic and presymptomatic infection are not identical. Younger age correlates strongly with asymptomatic and mild infections. Asymptomatic infections do not provide clear guidance for public-health measures. Asymptomatic cases should be reported in official COVID-19 statistics. Asymptomatic individuals carrying SARS-CoV-2 are hidden drivers of the pandemic.
