ABSTRACT
Little is known about the transmissibility of COVID-19 from patients with atypical presentations. Five COVID-19 patients presenting without acute respiratory symptoms exposed 247 contacts during their hospital stay. After 14 days of close surveillance, 19 contacts developed respiratory symptoms and were screened for SARS-CoV-2. None were infected with COVID-19.
