In this study, we attempted to confirm the presence of viable virus by performing RT-PCR assay and culture using salivary and nasopharyngeal swabs of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic COVID-19 patients who had been diagnosed with the disease and admitted to a CTC at least two weeks previously. Therefore, based on the evidence that the virus is rarely detected in respiratory specimens after 10 days following the onset of symptoms, especially in mild or asymptomatic cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection, even if viral shedding is sustained in the later phase of COVID-19, it can be expected that the transmission risk of the virus is low.	./cache/cord-322184-kgv9f58a.txt	./txt/cord-322184-kgv9f58a.txt
