Coronavirus can affect different individuals differently. For example, some may contract severe infections from the virus, for most the symptoms are mild to moderate, and others may be completely asymptomatic.
Patients who are asymptomatic might not suffer from it themselves, but they pose a high risk in terms of infecting others. Hence, many wonder if there is a way to determine if someone is an asymptomatic Covid carrier.

A Duke University study revealed that children in the age group of 6 to 13 are mostly asymptomatic because they have more respiratory viral illnesses in general.
