More evidence is emerging that coronavirus infections are being spread by people who have no clear symptoms, complicating efforts to gain control of the pandemic, AP reports.

A study conducted by researchers in Singapore and published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday is the latest to estimate that around 10 per cent of new coronavirus infections may be sparked by people who were infected with the virus but not experiencing symptoms.
