More than nine out of 10 people infected with the coronavirus experience no symptoms of the disease, according to a new study by Aga Khan University (AKU) researchers. Karachi has the most COVID-19 cases in Pakistan, and the study saw AKU faculty investigate COVID-19’s prevalence in parts of the city with high and low rates of transmission in the community in April and June.
