Covid-19 spreads easily among people who live together and other family members, even before an infected person shows any symptoms, new research shows. The study - published on 17 June in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal - also said that the new coronavirus spreads among household members more easily than severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
Those conclusions emerged from an analysis of contract-tracing data from 349 Covid-19 patients and 1 964 of their close contacts in Guangzhou, China.
The analysis found that people with Covid-19 were as infectious before they developed symptoms as during their actual illness.

The US Supreme Court has ruled against President Donald Trump's bid to end a major programme that protects young immigrants from deportation. The justices upheld lower court rulings that found his move to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) was "unlawful".
It protects "Dreamers", about 650,000 young people who entered the US without documents as children. The Trump administration has sought to end the Obama-era policy since 2017.
The Supreme Court took up the case after lower courts ruled that the Trump administration did not adequately explain why it was ending the programme, criticising the White House's "capricious" explanations.
On Thursday, the justices voted 5-4 to uphold the lower courts' findings that the administration's order violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which says a government action cannot make policy that is "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion or otherwise not in accordance with law" or "unsupported by substantial evidence".

Closing the toilet lid when you flush could prevent the spread of the coronavirus. That's according to researchers in China who used a computer simulation to show how a flushing toilet can create a cloud of virus-containing aerosol droplets, allowing the spread of viruses to spread indoors.
Although the researchers didn't conduct an in-person experiment using real coronavirus particles, they say their simulation offers new evidence that it's probably smart to close that toilet seat before you flush.
COVID-19 is largely a respiratory virus, meaning it's typically found in the lungs. However, virus particles have also been detected in feces. And it's easier than you might think for viral particles to spread from feces into your mouth, typically by accidentally ingesting it from contaminated food or water. Other viruses, such as hepatitis A, norovirus and polio, can be spread this way too.

The UK government is being sued for awarding a company with just 16 employees a £108 million to supply it with personal protective equipment (PPE) at the height of its coronavirus outbreak.
Pestfix was the only bidder competing for the contract in early April, according to the Good Law Project nonprofit, which on Monday issued proceedings for judicial review at the High Court.
The size of the contract, apparent lack of advertising, and the fact that there was only one bidder competing for it, led the Good Law Project to submit a series of questions to the government for answer. The UK has signed around 100 PPE contracts with various private-sector companies, according to the group. Those contracts were worth around $438 million (R7 billion) in total. The Pestfix contract made up almost a third of this.
