'Premature, misleading': Doctors on WHO's findings that asymptomatic patients rarely spread COVID-19

The World Health Organization said asymptomatic coronavirus patients rarely transfer the virus to others. "It still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove said during a media briefing Monday morning. That was her response to a question about an asymptomatic COVID-19 patient's ability to spread the disease, saying WHO is focused on following positive cases where patients have symptoms. "If we actually followed all of the symptomatic cases, isolated those cases, followed the contacts and isolate those contacts, we would drastically reduce, I would love to give a proportion of how much transmission we would actually stop," Kerkhove said. Local doctors say those statements are misleading and have no data to back the claim.
