How do you know if you are asymptomatic?

You may be asymptomatic if you test positive for a virus or infection, such as COVID-19, but do not exhibit any signs or symptoms commonly associated with it, such as fever, cough, or fatigue. The only definitive way to determine if you are asymptomatic is through testing, as many individuals may not realize they are infected without showing symptoms. Regular testing, especially if you have been exposed to someone with an infectious disease, can help identify asymptomatic cases. It's important to follow public health guidelines to prevent the spread of infections, even if you feel well.
