Abstract
The Covid-19 virus (CoV) has worsened due to its transmissibility worldwide. Several millions of people have been infected since 2019 when it was first detected. Unpredictable impact and disruption created by the pandemic influence global financial or economic crisis. This motivated governments to encourage more vaccination to manage the spread and counter the pandemic, thereby breaking the chain. However, despite the level of vaccination against CoV, that has not been found to prevent an individual from being infected.
In addition, many transmission of SARS-CoV-2 occurs at the pre-symptomatic infection stage, which thus makes it difficult to contain. The impact of the vaccination and booster immunizations on viral load and transmissibility. There is a positive relationship where vaccination influences the transmission rate.
This study aims to identify how critical the viral loads and asymptomatic virus status of the SARS-CoV-s influence the transmission of Omicron and how the quantitative SARS-CoV-s viral load assay corresponds to the clinical outcome while managing Covid-19 infected patients.
