BEND, OR -- Deschutes County Public Health Director Nahad Sadr-Azodi told county commissioners yesterday, many people with COVID-19 are not showing symptoms. He said he asked his wife if she knew the percentage and she guessed less than 10-per cent. Sadr-Azodi says the actual percentage of people who show no symptoms is a minimum of 40-per cent with some studies showing even higher numbers. He says even though they show no symptoms, those infected can still infect others and spread the virus. Sadr-Azodi says with so many people showing no have symptoms, it is more important than ever to get a flu shot this year.
