Of 52 SARS-CoV-2 positive residents who were asymptomatic at the time of testing and were closely monitored for 14 days at one facility, only 6 (11.6%) developed symptoms. Conclusions and Implications Asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2 in the nursing home setting was associated with increased risk of death suggesting a need for closer monitoring of these residents, particularly those with underlying cardiovascular and respiratory comorbidities. A 78 cohort of all residents at one facility who were asymptomatic at the time of testing were closely 79 monitored by nursing home staff for development of symptoms over a 14 day period; this was 80 documented in a dedicated line list and included as a sub-analysis.	./cache/cord-277278-lg38l5gh.txt	./txt/cord-277278-lg38l5gh.txt
