WHY 14 DAYS OF QUARANTINE AND/OR ISOLATION?

 

The incubation period is between 1 and 7 days. 

 

Patients can be transmitters even during the incubation period, unlike most viral infections, where contagion only happens at the activa phase of the disease. 

Asymptomatic patients can be vectors, this is why everyone should be on social isolation.

 

Active disease can go from 7 days to 3 weeks (if complications occur).
