A so-called "super spreader" is the right person in the wrong place at the wrong time, said Dr Biji Bob Thomas, internal medicine specialist at Aster Clinic, Abu Shaghara.
"In its widest definition, it refers to a propensity to infect a larger than the average number of people. Scientists haven't narrowed down how many infections someone needs to cause to qualify as a super spreader, but generally speaking, it far exceeds the two to three individuals' researchers initially estimated the average infected patient could infect," she said.
Super spreaders have a greater than average the propensity to infect a larger number of people and important in contributing a second wave, said Dr Payal Modi, specialist medical microbiologist at NMC in DIP Dubai.
"Any infected patient can transmit the virus whether they are symptomatic or asymptomatic. Thanks to the awareness among people, symptomatic individuals avoid contact with other people and so asymptomatic are the one plays important role in the spread."
Dr Saheer Sainalabdeen, specialist pulmonologist and respiratory medicine at Medeor Hospital in Dubai, added: "Research indicates that between 10 and 20 per cent of the infected people are responsible for 80 per cent of the coronavirus spread.
"Also, a closed and poorly ventilated area increases the chances of infection by 18 times. If there are a large group of people in a room that has no ventilation, chances of spreading are extremely high," he said.
