1,300 asymptomatic coronavirus cases

To stop spre of dely disease from affecting people in large numbers, National Health Commission (NHC) reportedly said that all 1,367 asymptomatic patients have been placed under medical observation. NHC also anunced on March 31 that it would cater to all public concerns by publishing daily data about asymptomatic cases, which is believed to be more infectious.

Currently, government is overloed with a lot of pressure to release data of asymptomatic cases after authorities revealed that a contaminated woman in Henan province h been living in close contact with three asymptomatic patients. However, asymptomatic infections which are also called subclinical infections did t find a position on official tally unless y later show certain symptoms or signs of virus. 

China's capital Beijing has started opting a series of strict measures which include putting a stop on arrivals of people into country and control imported cases which includes restricting all foreigners entering China and testing those coming from abro. This process of isolating people makes it much easier for authorities to determine those who are infected but do t show any clinical symptoms. According to reports, China said that all detected asymptomatic cases and ir close contacts will undergo a 14-day centralized quarantine so that or people do t get contaminated.
