The incubation period is the period between contamination and the appearance of the first symptoms. The incubation period for COVID-19 is 3 to 5 days in general, however it can extend up to 14 days. During this period, the subject may be contagious:they may carry the virus before the onset of symptoms or at the onset of weak signals.
What to do:
1- I get tested, I isolate myself and I respect barrier gestures
2- I list the people I could have infected
3- If my test is positive, I monitor my health and I remain isolated
I remain isolated !!! To avoid contaminating my relatives and other people and thus prevent the spread of the virus.
UNTIL WHEN TO ISOLATE ME?
Because it is very contagious:each infected person will contaminate at least 3 people in the absence of protective measures; and that a person infected but not yet experiencing symptoms can infect other people.
