Yesterday, the media from Italy reported that an additional 10 to 12 individuals were infected with the Corona-CoV, but the individuals were asymptomatic. These individuals reportedly included doctors and nurses. Today, a second round of testing on eight of these individuals produced negative results [1]. Based on the number of confirmed cases to date, Corona-CoV is a deadly disease. The presence or absence of asymptomatic or mild cases of Corona-CoV is an important component in understanding how this disease spreads. Hopefully, the confusion over the number of infected individuals and the Corona-CoV testing results will be cleared up soon by public health officials in Italy.
