    Probably relevant to read this short article published by the British Medical Journal on 21 December 2020.

     

    "Unusually in disease management, a positive test result is the sole criterion for a covid-19 case. Normally, a test is a support for clinical diagnosis, not a substitute. 
    This lack of clinical oversight means we know very little about the proportions of people with positive results who are truly asymptomatic throughout the course of their 
    infection and the proportions who are paucisymptomatic (subclinical), presymptomatic (go on to develop symptoms later), or post-infection (with viral RNA fragments still 
    detectable from an earlier infection)."
