How soon after exposure are you contagious? my friends are getting off a plane friday morning, and we are seeing them at a small gathering saturday from 2-7. if they get covid from the plane friday, can they be contagious by the next day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is unlikely to be contagious a day after exposure to COVID 19. There is possibility of being contagious before developing signs and symptoms; but at least 3 to 5 days postexposure.
