What Do You Mean by Being COVID Asymptomatic?
Being asymptomatic means that a person has Covid-19 but isn't experiencing any symptoms of the disease. This can last for up to 14 days, making things more serious because the asymptomatic individual spreads the virus to a large number of people, fueling the pandemic. Pre-symptomatic patients, meanwhile, have a cough, fever, or trouble in breathing while not having any symptoms at first despite testing positive for the virus.
