- - Asymptomatic carriers (AC) of SARS-CoV-2 play a crucial role in the COVID-19 spread, making early diagnosis vital for pandemic control.
- - A study analyzed 76,162 ACs using national COVID-19 data, finding that younger age (≤26), male sex, and cases imported from various countries significantly increased the likelihood of being an AC.
- - The research highlights important sociodemographic factors related to ACs, aiming to enhance mass screening strategies and reduce transmission risks.
