More evidence is emerging that coronavirus infections are being spread by people who have no clear symptoms, complicating efforts to gain control of the pandemic.

A study conducted by researchers in Singapore and published by the US Centres for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention on Wednesday (Thursday NZ time) is the latest to estimate that around 10 per cent of new coronavirus infections may be sparked by people who were infected with the virus but not experiencing symptoms.

Fletcher Building has proposed its executives take a 15 per cent cut in pay, but other staff could see a 70 per cent slash in income in the weeks after the coronavirus lockdown.

Last week staff said they were uncertain about their pay during the month-long Covid-19 lockdown, after the company said the Government's wage subsidy programme would determine how it would pay staff after this week.
