Asymptomatic and presymptomatic hosts of SARS-CoV-2 are a risk for community spread of COVID-19, especially with new variants emerging. Moreover, typical symptom checks may easily miss people who are asymptomatic or presymptomatic but still infectious. Our study results may be used as a guide to analyze the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants and help inform appropriate public health measures as they relate to asymptomatic and presymptomatic cases.
