WHO says comments on asymptomatic individuals a ‘misunderstanding’
LOS ANGELES - The World Health Organization walked back on comments it had previously made regarding asymptomatic individuals and whether they greatly contribute to the spread of the novel coronavirus.On Monday, Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s technical lead on COVID-19, said she believes the spread of the coronavirus from people who are asymptomatic is “rare.”“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” said Van Kerkhove.These comments seemed to contradict previous research that indicated that individuals who contracted COVID-19 but exhibited none of the common symptoms were rapidly contributing to the high surge of infections.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously noted that some people who contract COVID-19 may not show any symptoms until 14 days after being infected.After Van Kerkhove claimed asymptomatic transmission was rare, she spoke on Tuesday, June 9 regarding her previous statement, calling it a “misunderstanding.
