Researchers do not yet fully understand how many people who develop COVID-19 will experience symptoms.

Different studies estimate different rates, with some suggesting that around 30%Trusted Source of people with COVID-19 will never develop symptoms. However, another small study that took place on a cruise ship in 2020 estimated that the figure might be as high as 81%.

In conclusions, our SARS-CoV-2 RNA loads measures in upper respiratory tract samples revealed that asymptomatic outpatients shed significant levels of infectious virus in their respiratory tract playing a major role as viral transmitters in various epidemiological transmission chains, promoting COVID-19 resurgence. The impact of asymptomatic viral shedders on COVID-19 epidemic dynamics remains to be assessed in further longitudinal multicenter studies.
