The Stanford Club of Greece is organizing on June 22 τhe second webinar of the virtual speaker series titled "Deconstructing Covid-19, Re-Constructing the Economy".

The invited speaker will be Dr. John P.A. Ioannidis from Stanford School of Medicine and the title of his presentation is "COVID-19: high risks, high prevalence, high-level evidence, and high-stake decisions".

"There are fewer infected people and less risk of infection. But there is still that possibility. There are people who are virus carriers without even knowing it. Therefore, our emphasis will be on testing to reach these asymptomatic people," Tiodorovic said.

Turkey will conduct tests to trace "ghost spreaders," who have the coronavirus but do not show any symptoms of the COVID-19 disease, according to Professor Ateş Kara, a member of the country's Science Board.

Although the number of newly infected has fallen since its peak in February, when China isolated several cities, authorities are calling for continued caution over fear of a new wave of contagion.
Of the 63 new cases, 61 are travelers arriving to China from abroad.

China on April 7 reported no new coronavirus deaths for the first time since it started publishing figures in January, the National Health Commission said.          

Cases in mainland China have been dwindling since March, but the country faces a second wave of infections brought in from overseas, with health officials reporting nearly 1,000 imported cases in total.

Five healthcare professionals of the Bucharest-based Matei Bals Institute of Infectious Diseases got infected with the novel coronavirus, the manager of the healthcare facility, Adrian Streinu-Cercel, told AGERPRES on Thursday. According to him, it is about two doctors, a nurse, a biochemist and an assistive worker. Of the five, one doctor is symptomatic.

US doctors have confirmed that it takes five days on average for people to start showing the symptoms of coronavirus, the BBC reported.

Johns Hopkins University experts have analyzed cases of the disease in China and other countries. They found that most people develop symptoms on or around the fifth day.
