A new coronavirus epidemic could begin in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus has spread around the world. According to Gadin.Net, the results of the study by Chinese researchers were published in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases.
It was found that asymptomatic carriers were ignored after those with obvious symptoms recovered. Thus, the COVID-19 epidemic in Uhanda did not end in the spring. It continued to spread even after quarantine measures were taken in the city and surrounding settlements.
A significant proportion of new infections are caused by healthy people coming into contact with asymptomatic carriers of the virus. According to researchers, the presence of such cases could lead to the re-emergence of less aggressive coronavirus strains and a new epidemic of COVID-19 in China.
