Dear Editor,

We read with interest the paper by Wang et al [1] describing the clinical features of 69 patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in Wuhan, China. The authors provide a detailed description of major signs and symptoms of overt disease [2, 3], but fail to give an account of minor symptoms that may be present at earlier stage of the infection.
