However, the transmission of COVID-19 through asymptomac carriers via person-to-person
contact was observed in many reports. Second, paents with ARD de'ned as laboratory-con'rmed
COVID-19 cases had respiratory symptoms; however, chest computed tomography (CT) did not
reveal signs of pneumonia. Third, paents with pneumonia de'ned as COVID-19 cases had both
respiratory symptoms and pneumonia on chest radiograph.”
