COVID 19: Please isolate. The typical incubation period for COVID 19 is 2 to 14 days with a mean of 5 days. If you get symptoms, you can go right away. You would have a higher test of getting a positive result (if you are in fact positive) if you waited a minimum of five days, but even that is not fool-proof. I don't know what the policy is in South Africa.
