What phases of coronavirus infection are there?

The coronavirus that causes COVID-19, SARS-Cov-2, has three broad phases of infection.

  1. Incubation period

This is the interval between contracting the infection and the onset of symptoms. Symptoms often appear two to fourteen days following illness. Individually and according to the variety, the incubation duration varies. Even if you are symptom-free during the incubation period, you can still spread the coronavirus to another person.

  1. Acute COVID-19

You have now reached the acute stage once symptoms start to show. Fever, a cough, and other COVID-19 symptoms could be present. If you have mild or moderate coronavirus sickness, your active illness may last one to two weeks, whereas severe cases may last months. Some people have COVID-19 yet are asymptomatic, meaning they never experience symptoms.

Call your doctor, follow the testing instructions, and adhere to all isolation and safety instructions if you experience symptoms or believe you may be sick even though you don’t show any signs of illness.

  1. COVID-19 recovery

After you recover from an acute illness, post-COVID-19 symptoms such as a persistent cough, intermittent fever, weakness, and changes to your sensations of taste or smell can remain for weeks or even months. Long COVID-19 is a term sometimes used to describe persistent symptoms.
