How long is someone who gets covid-19 contagious for? if someone is asymptomatic, how long will they be contagious to others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contagious period: We are still learning about how long patients with covid19 are contagious. Although they are most contagious when they are the sickest, they can transmit the infection before they become symptomatic and for up to 8 days after they have seemingly recovered.
