The study, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, confirmed that infected people can be contagious before the first symptoms appear.
In at least one of the 16 cases examined, an infected person passed on the coronavirus before he had symptoms, the German researchers report. This may have been the case in five other cases.
In at least four cases, other people became infected on the day that the patient’s symptoms just started. Five other cases could fall within this period. The team of scientists concludes that infectivity is significant before symptoms begin or shortly afterwards, and that health measures pose a huge challenge.
