A member asked:
If someone is asymptomatic but has the coronavirus, should they be taking any medication to not be contagious to others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They probably should: If there were any. Little is known with actual facts and strong evidence. Most of our knowledge is based on clinical observation and may not be applicable to all patients. If somebody is asymptomatic, he or she will not get even tested. What would they be treated for then?
