Presymptomatic, asymptomatic and post-symptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2: joint British Infection Association (BIA), Healthcare Infection Society (HIS), Infection Prevention Society (IPS) and Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath) guidance

ARCHIVED - A WHO report (2024) on proposed terminology for pathogens that transmit through the air provided a new framework for describing how these pathogens can cause infections. The recommendations in this report are no longer valid. Since COVID-19 is no longer a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), we will not undertake the update for these guidelines.
