More than two-thirds of the Covid-19 cases reported in mainland China in the eight days until Tuesday were people who showed no symptoms of the disease, according to new figures released by the National Health Commission .

“Therefore the virus is still being transmitted inside the country … and these patients should be treated in isolation and put under close observation.” A total of 199 new cases were reported in mainland China on Tuesday, of which 137 were asymptomatic. Of those, 107 were imported cases, while 59 of the 62 symptomatic cases were also imported.

However, Dr Robert Redfield, director of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, said last week that as many as 25 per cent of infected people were asymptomatic.
