Tuesday's statement follows a comment from a WHO expert saying asymptomatic spread was "very rare."

A World Health Organization expert sparked widespread confusion Monday when she said that asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 is"very rare."

Van Kerkhove said there is a wide range of mathematical modeling of asymptomatic spread. The WHO estimates about 16 percent of people with the coronavirus never develop symptoms, but may indeed be able to spread the virus. But, she added, some estimates suggest"around 40 percent of transmission may be due to asymptomatic" spread.

"We know some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus. That is why measures like cloth face coverings in public are so important," it added.
