1/ Resurfacing after a long day of work. Can someone who's infected with #COVID transmit the virus to others? Yes. If they have & continue to have ZERO symptoms (i.e. are asymptomatic & remain asymptomatic), it's unlikely. BUT...
2/ BUT, if they have MILD symptoms (say a runny nose or sneezing or diarrhea) that aren't necessarily typical of #COVID, they could still be infectious to others. Many wouldn't even think they might have COVID, but rather seasonal allergies... or ate something bad.
3/ AND, if someone's pre-symptomatic, it means they don't have symptoms... yet. We know that people with #COVID are infectious a couple days before developing symptoms.
