The COVID-19 clinical trial where scientists purposefully infected volunteers showed that the symptoms an infected person experienced did not indicate how likely they were to pass on the virus that causes COVID-19, researchers behind the trial said.
“There was no correlation between the amount of viral shedding by qPCR or FFA and symptom score,” researchers with Imperial College in London said in a paper published by Nature Medicine expanding on the findings.
