SARS-CoV-2 has caused over 100 million deaths and continues to spread rapidly around the world. Asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is the Achilles’ heel of COVID-19 public health control measures. Phylogenomic data on SARS-CoV-2 could provide more direct information about asymptomatic transmission. In this study, using a novel MINERVA sequencing technology, we traced asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 patients in Beijing, China. One hundred and seventy-eight close contacts were quarantined, and 14 COVID-19 patients were laboratory confirmed by RT-PCR. We provide direct phylogenomic evidence of asymptomatic transmission by constructing the median joining network in the cluster. These data could help us to determine whether the current symptom-based screening should cover asymptomatic persons. The silent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 poses a threat to public health The novel MINERVA sequencing technology reveals the accumulation of viral mutations during the asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Close contacts of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases could develop into symptomatic patients Phylogenomic tracing could efficiently support the epidemic investigations of the COVID-19 outbreak
