Punjab govt warns against spread of virus through asymptomatic patients
“Having no symptoms does not mean you don’t have the virus,” a public awareness video by the Punjab government begins by saying.
It warns people that some have symptoms which do not have outward manifestations other illnesses do.
“Such people can become the greatest driving force in the spread of the virus,” says the message, urging people to practice social distancing despite not having symptoms of the virus.
