Patterns of viral clearance in the natural course of asymptomatic COVID-19: Comparison with symptomatic non-severe COVID-19
The first cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019 (Chen et al., 2020; Huang et al., 2020). The pathogen has been identified as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Lu et al., 2020; Zhu et al., 2020). COVID-19 has rapidly become widespread across the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. From the end of February through March 2020, Daegu—the fourth largest city in South Korea—was emerging as an epicenter of COVID-19 in South Korea.Duration of viral shedding in asymptomatic or mild cases of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from a cruise ship: A single-hospital experience in Tokyo, Japan
The novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; SARS-CoV-2), which is the cause of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), first reported in Wuhan, China, has spread across the world and has been characterized by the World Health Organization as a global pandemic (Bedford et al., 2020).
