The Danish health authorities, provides imprecise information about the how the corona virus is transmitted, researchers estimate.
A number of Danish researchers agree that the Danish health authorities are wrong when they report on that infected people without symptoms do not carry the virus on.
It writes Berlingske.
Among other things, the national board of Health advises that the risk of infection from those without symptoms is very low.
But it is diametrically opposed to the conclusion in several international research studies, and several Danish researchers ‘ assessment, writes Berlingske.
the Criticism comes, among others, from Jan Gerstoft, who is chief physician and professor at the infectious disease Department at the national university hospital.
– It is clear, and it is very well established that you can be contagious before you get symptoms, and that can be contagious, even if you basically do not get symptoms.
Just now, I think that our authorities must communicate accurately, says Jan Gerstoft to Berlingske.
the newspaper says the professor Benjamin Cowling, who is head of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Hong Kong, he clearly believes, infection without symptoms is possible.
He refers to an american study, which estimates that 37 percent of the smitteoverførslerne among the 40 people in China happened before the symptoms came.
In march, the said board of Health to Berlingske, there is very little risk of you infecting others, if you do not have symptoms.
the Board does not want to relate to Berlingskes research, but refers to the Statens Serum Institut.
Tyra Grove Krause, who is head of the Infektionsepidemiologi and Prevention at the State Serum Institute, acknowledged to the newspaper that studies have shown that infection can occur before symptoms appear.
According to her, it suggests that there is infection, before there are symptoms. It can lead to an update of the guidance, she says to Berlingske.
