We answer five commonly asked questions about the spread of #coronavirus by asymptomatic carriers aje.io/p5x2f
Asymptomatic means a person has been infected by a virus, in this case #COVID19, but does not feel sick or develop any symptoms at any stage aje.io/cb8ny
Can asymptomatic people spread #coronavirus?
@WHO has maintained that asymptomatic people can transmit COVID-19 but more research is required to determine the extent of the transmission aje.io/tvxjf

@WHO How can asymptomatic carriers spread the virus?
Carriers can spread #coronavirus through direct contact with others or by contaminating surfaces and objects, just like symptomatic and pre-symptomatic cases aje.io/zsqa8

@WHO Are asymptomatic #COVID19 carriers less contagious?
Based on current evidence, @WHO says asymptomatically infected individuals are less likely to transmit the virus than those who develop symptoms aje.io/me2gp

@WHO How can you protect yourself?
Everyone is recommended to wash hands frequently with soap and water, keep surfaces and objects clean, wear face masks especially in crowded places and maintain a safe distance between themselves and others aje.io/62pbk
