WHO more or less retracted the statement on asymptomatic spread.  https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/09/who-...-covid-19/

A top World Health Organization official clarified on Tuesday that scientists have not determined yet how frequently people with asymptomatic cases of Covid-19 pass the disease on to others, a day after suggesting that such spread is “very rare.”

Spread from pre-sympomatic people is still a real thing.  So, unfortunately, we can't ditch our masks and hand san yet. :)

This sounds like when the CDC said that spread along surfaces is not easy...but then a day later said, it's still possible and to take appropriate precautions.
