New Study on COVID-19 Reveals Importance of Asymptomatic Infection Detection

Strategic Insights -

Research conducted at Hunan Agricultural University in China has highlighted the significance of detecting asymptomatic infections in controlling the spread of COVID-19. The study proposed a new mathematical model for virus transmission with asymptomatic infected persons, which can be used for COVID-19. According to the researchers, the model shows that the number of people diagnosed with COVID-19 will increase, and the number of hospital beds should be increased to meet the large number of patients with the implementation of the screening strategy.

Key Takeaways:

  • The study proposed a new mathematical model for virus transmission with asymptomatic infected persons, which can be used for COVID-19.
  • The model shows that the number of people diagnosed with COVID-19 will increase, and the number of hospital beds should be increased to meet the large number of patients with the implementation of the screening strategy.
  • The research concluded that detecting asymptomatic infections is crucial in controlling the spread of COVID-19.
  • The model was developed by Tiejun Zhou and his team at Hunan Agricultural University.
  • The research received financial support from the Natural Science Foundation of Hunan Province.
  • The study has been peer-reviewed and published in the journal Advances In Continuous and Discrete Models.
