Health Minister C. Vijayabaskar said that a majority of persons who had attended the Nizamuddin conference and had tested positive for COVID-19 in the last three days were asymptomatic. “We checked with the neighbouring States that have reported positive cases among those who had travelled to Nizamuddin. It seems that at least 40% of the persons who tested positive across the country are asymptomatic. Nevertheless, we will have to study this,” he said.

“We are planning to study the virus strain. We need to understand if immunity levels play a role, and look at the virulence of the virus.” The condition of all patients, including the 10-month-old baby and 73-year-old woman who had tested positive earlier, was stable, he added.
