Title: The time scale of asymptomatic transmission affects estimates of epidemic potential in the COVID-19 outbreak Document date: 2020_3_13
ID: 50zrnau8_2
Snippet: There is significant ongoing interest in asymptomatic infections in COVID-19 [3] [4] [5] and their transmission potential [6] for two major reasons. First, the proportion of infections that are asymptomatic (see [7] ) is critical to attempts to estimate the likely burden of severe outcomes (including mortality [8] ) when the virus spreads through a population. Second, understanding the possible role of transmission by asymptomatic individuals is .....
Document: There is significant ongoing interest in asymptomatic infections in COVID-19 [3] [4] [5] and their transmission potential [6] for two major reasons. First, the proportion of infections that are asymptomatic (see [7] ) is critical to attempts to estimate the likely burden of severe outcomes (including mortality [8] ) when the virus spreads through a population. Second, understanding the possible role of transmission by asymptomatic individuals is crucial to planning surveillance and control efforts [1] . Given that 86% of the cases were undocumented (i.e., mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic) in Wuhan prior to travel restrictions and may account for 79% of infection in severe, symptomatic cases [9] , asymptomatic cases are also likely to play an important role in the transmission of COVID-19.
