Therefore, these findings indicated the clinical symptoms were not essential components of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In our observation, we found that four patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, showed no clinical symptoms or abnormal chest CT images. It is worth noting that, the clinical symptoms and radiological abnormalities are not the essential components of SARS-CoV-2 infection. If some people have a history of exposure to infected areas or contact with patients, regardless of radiological manifestations or clinical symptoms, medical observation and home isolation or SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid tests are quite important to rule out infection.
