According to SPRI — the research arm of The Steadman Clinic — there is a growing number of COVID-19 patients who are asymptomatic. To address this, the facility is working to create a testing method for people who do not know they’ve contracted the illness.
“Those people unwittingly are the real problem because they think they are healthy and are not,” said Johnny Huard, PhD, chief scientific officer at SPRI. “We want to be able to test people before they show any symptoms and do what we can to deter the spread of the virus.”
