Fauci and Threlkeld agree that questioning people about symptoms is needed.
“Have they been around someone that is known to have COVID very recently? Are they having any symptoms – cough, shortness of breath?” said Threlkeld.
Threlkeld said in some studies up to 40 percent of people can be asymptomatic.
