The top infectious disease doctor in the United States says a new study published Thursday night shows people can spread the Wuhan coronavirus before symptoms set in.

German researchers found that the virus was transmitted by people without symptoms in five instances in one cluster of people: from a parent to a daughter; from that daughter to two colleagues; and from one of those colleagues to two other coworkers.

The Wuhan coronavirus, which was first identified in China in December, has killed more than 200 people and infected nearly 10,000 in more than a dozen countries around the world. Three days later, on January 19, the woman left Shanghai and flew to Germany. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday she held a series of workshops with employees of an auto parts supply company outside of Munich. She was healthy during those workshops, showing no signs of the disease, according to the New England Journal report.She was diagnosed with the virus and alerted the company -- but by then it was too late.

On Sunday, Chinese Health Minister Ma Xiaowei said at a press briefing that they had found people could spread the virus while asymptomatic. Two days later, a Chinese doctor repeated this at a press conference.On Wednesday, when a reporter at a press conference asked about the Chinese officials' statements, a doctor from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expressed doubt.

Fauci, the NIH doctor, said it might take a period of time after infection for the test to be reliable.Novel coronavirus is a US public health emergency

You're late, it was already discovered last week that virus can infect others without sign of symptoms.

Kulit! Asymptomatic (ibig sabihin sa Tagalog, nasa loob mo na ang katawan pro nanghahawa ka na, o sa Ingles shedding the virus)! Tapos pa thermal scanner, chk fever, cough pa ang hanap ng DOH. O paano yan? Hanapin ninyo 'yung mga galing ng Wuhan. Tapos lahat ng nakasalumuha nila.

Congratulations, Philippine Government for your warm welcome for the Coronavirus !
