Few if any: Estimates of children with no symptoms range from 10-50%. Those that do usually have a cough & runny nose with or without fever. If infected they can pass it around from a day or so before to 10-14 days after symptoms appear.Those becoming symptomatic would usually do so by day 3.

Good day, my wife just visited a GP at Medipark Centurion who felt it is not necessary to conduct a Covid-19 test. She has flu-like symptoms, a dry cough and measured a slight fever of 37.4C. We have a two week old infant at home and my mom who is 61?
