Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among asymptomatic individuals is possible, leading to concerns about infection in healthcare settings and impacting patient healthcare-seeking behavior. A study screening 489 symptom-free healthcare workers found no positive results for SARS-CoV-2, indicating a prevalence of <1%.
Transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is possible among symptom-free individuals. Patients are avoiding medically necessary healthcare visits for fear of becoming infected in the healthcare setting. We screened 489 symptom-free healthcare workers for SARS-CoV-2 and found no positive results, strongly suggesting that the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 was <1%.
