As of June 10, 2020, the Ministry of Health has reported that none of the 873 patients who have been discharged from hospital after recovering from coronavirus have registered any re-infections.
Health CAS Dr Rashid Aman stated that all recovered patients are faring well and none have been re-admitted to hospital due to re-infection.
Dr Aman emphasized that the ministry will continue to monitor new information from the World Health Organisation (WHO) regarding asymptomatic patients and their safety in the community.
He noted that there are still many unknowns surrounding Covid-19 and its behavior in different environments.
Dr Aman highlighted the importance of gathering evidence on asymptomatic status, stating, "This information that has now come out of WHO is in observation from many different places, but the evidence is still to be gathered to be very clear of what asymptomatic status means."
Asymptomatic patients who test positive for Covid-19 do not display any symptoms related to the disease, making them appear normal.
