Summary: Since the outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of December 2019, it has caused significant harm and challenges to over 200 countries and regions worldwide. Many patients with COVID-19 are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms, yet they can still spread the virus, making screening for asymptomatic infections difficult and complicating national prevention and control efforts.
