Parmi les personnes asymptomatiques, on retrouve aussi les personnes présymptomatiques, c'est-à-dire qui ont été infectées et qui développeront des symptômes ultérieurement. Des études ont montré que les personnes présymptomatiques sont en moyenne contagieuses 24 à 48 heures avant l'apparition des symptômes, comme dans le cas de la grippe. 2, record 1, French, - personne%20pr%C3%A9symptomatique

El virus también se transmite de una persona asintomática o presintomática. Las personas asintomáticas son aquellas que se infectan con el virus pero nunca desarrollan síntomas. Las personas presintomáticas, en cambio, son aquellas que actualmente no tienen síntomas en este momento pero eventualmente los tendrán. En ambos casos, existe el riesgo de que infecten a otros de igual manera que alguien enfermo. 1, record 1, Spanish, - persona%20presintom%C3%A1tica
