Abstract:

The current COVID-19 pandemic that started in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, infect millions globally so far. The disease is caused by an RNA virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS CoV-2).The common presenting symptoms include dry cough, fever, sore throat, and malaise. A proportion of patients remain asymptomatic throughout infection. Likewise, pre-symptomatic, asymptomatic patients act as carriers that can infect others.These patients pose a management challenge for family physicians working at the primary care level.Herein we report an asymptomatic carrier of COVID-19 who presented to the primary care center for routine follow-upthat confirmed by RT-PCR test.
