The enlightenment from two cases of asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2: is it safe after 14 days of isolation?

The outbreak and spread of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that began in Wuhan, China, has attracted worldwide attention (Li et al., 2020; Marc Lipsitch et al., 2020; Zou et al., 2020). As of 24:00 on February 24, 2020, a total of 77658 confirmed cases have been reported in China, and 641742 cases of close contacts were tracked, including 87902 cases under medical observation. Most close contacts are still subject to home isolation, especially in Wuhan, the center of the epidemic. Isolation at home is mainly suitable for people who are healthy in the past, have no history of basic diseases and have no symptoms or mild symptoms at present (WHO, 2020).
