A new study published in the scientific journal Nature explains why some people don't have any Covid-19 symptoms even when they have the virus. Researchers have uncovered the underlying factors behind these asymptomatic cases, suggesting that the immune response within certain individuals may play a crucial role in preventing the manifestation of symptoms. This newfound understanding helps researchers further their knowledge of the virus for both managing its spread and improving public health strategies.
