That says nothing of the sort. It says PCR results must be carefully looked at.

"WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity."

Your quote has nothing to do with asymptomatic cases or your title, it has to do with the prevalence of a virus in a PCR procedure.
