We noted 18 (0.061%) cases of asymptomatic infection; 13 turned negative within 8.0 days, and 41 close contacts tested negative. A s the population of Wuhan, China, returns to work, asymptomatic cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are being discovered among workers receiving health checkups for work resumption. We report on cases of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among persons during work resumption screening in Wuhan. Among 29,299 persons screened by RT-PCR, we confirmed 18 (0.061%) cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Half the cases in our study showed negative IgM and IgG at the time of positive RT-PCR, suggesting recent infections (<14 days). In addition, 13 cases had negative RT-PCR assays <8 (range 3-14) days, suggesting a favorable prognosis for persons with asymptomatic infections. In addition, all 41 close contacts of the asymptomatic case-patients tested negative by RT-PCR.	./cache/cord-313099-rpdlk1b6.txt	./txt/cord-313099-rpdlk1b6.txt
