Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO's technical lead had said earlier that, "We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing. They're following asymptomatic cases, they're following contacts and they're not finding secondary transmission onward. It's very rare."

The WHO technical lead had told reporters in Geneva that "it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual."

However, Kerkhove on Tuesday walked back on her statement saying: "What I was referring to yesterday in the press conference were very few studies - some two or three studies that had been published that actually try to follow asymptomatic cases, so people who are infected, over time, and then look at all of their contacts and see how many additional people were infected."

"And that's a very small subset of studies. So I was responding to a question at the press conference. I wasn't stating a policy of WHO," Kerkhove added.

"This is a major unknown, because there are so many unknowns around this, some modeling groups have tried to estimate what is the proportion of asymptomatic people that may transmit," she said.

Protesters had earlier torn down the statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol. The statue of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was defaced amid anti-racism rally in London over African-American George Floyd's death by a Minneapolis cop on May 25.

The Museum of London Docklands said, "The monument is part of the ongoing problematic regime of white-washing history, which disregards the pain of those who are still wrestling with the remnants of the crimes Milligan committed against humanity."

The Canal and River Trust said it had worked with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in Canary Wharf to remove Robert Milligan's stature.

The London mayor said a new commission had been unveiled to review and improve the "diversity of London’s public landmarks".

"We must commemorate the achievements and diversity of all in our city - and that includes questioning which legacies are being celebrated," Sadiq Khan said.

Chauvin has been set a bail amount of $1 million by a US judge and faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted on charges of second-degree and third-degree murder and manslaughter.

Floyd's cortege made its way through a crowd of people who chanted "we will never forget", "rest in power".

There were victims of police violence at &nbsp;Floyd's funeral as Sharpton said, "Scheming on how you can spin the story rather than how you can achieve justice."

"You sit now trying to figure out how you're going to stop the protest, rather than how you're going to stop the brutality," he said, asserting, "The signals that we're sending is that if you are in law enforcement, that the law doesn't apply to you."

"Until we know the price for black life is the same as the price for white life, we're going to keep coming back to these situations over and over again," Sharpton said at the Fountain of Praise Church in southern Houston.

There were at least 500 guests at the funeral including actor Jamie Foxx, filmmaker Tyler Perry, singer Ne-Yo and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather.
