Asymptomatic and confirmed infections are both referred to as new crown infections, and both have positive nucleic acid test results. The difference is that confirmed infections have clinical symptoms, such as fever, cough, and possible imaging changes in the lungs, while asymptomatic infections do not have clinical symptoms, and there are no changes in lung imaging.
1. Asymptomatic infected person: the virological examination is positive, but there are no signs and symptoms such as fever, malaise, cough, etc., and there is no change in lung imaging, which can be called asymptomatic infected person, and need to be quarantined and put under medical observation, and part of the population may subsequently develop relevant clinical manifestations, and then it can be called as a confirmed case.
2. Confirmed cases: Virological tests are positive, there are clinical symptoms such as fever, cough, etc., and there may be imaging changes in the lungs, confirmed cases need to be isolated and treated in designated hospitals or prescribed places.
It should be noted that asymptomatic infected persons need to be quarantined, observed, monitored for signs and other measures in accordance with the requirements of confirmed cases, and need to actively cooperate.
