Scientists who studied passengers aboard a cruise ship found that eight out of ten people had no COVID-19 symptoms, despite testing positive.

But what’s surprising about this study is the number of people that caught the virus and didn’t even know they had it.

So the ship docked in Uruguay and 8 people with COVID-19 were evacuated to a local hospital.

And of those who tested positive, only 24 had symptoms.

Everyone on board was screened for COVID-19 symptoms.

And as for preventative measures, once the first person became sick, everyone was given surgical masks and passengers were confirmed to their cabins.

But despite these preventative measures, the virus was still able to quickly and stealthily spread itself aboard the ship.

If 80% of infected people don’t show symptoms and don’t know they’re actually carrying the virus, think of the impact it can have on our society.

Our case numbers are down, let’s keep them down by staying vigilant when it comes to the preventative measures that we’ve been doing?
