Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic infections may play a critical role in disease transmission. We aim to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection at two hospital systems in two counties in Wisconsin. The SARS-CoV-2 prevalence was 1% or lower at both systems despite the higher incidence of COVID-19 in Milwaukee county.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; asymptomatic; n-CoV; novel coronavirus.
