How long is the COVID-19 incubation period?
The "incubation period" is the time between infection with the virus and the onset of symptoms of the disease.
Most estimates for the COVID-19 incubation period range from 1 to 14 days, and are generally around five days.
These estimates will be updated as more data becomes available.
Can humans contract the COVID-19 virus from contact with an animal?
Coronaviruses are an extensive family of viruses that are common among bats and other animals.
Rarely, people become infected with these viruses, which can then spread to others.
For example, SARS-CoV was associated with civets and MERS-CoV is transmitted through dromedaries.
The possible animal origin of COVID-19 has not yet been confirmed.
As a protection measure when visiting live animal markets or in other similar situations, avoid direct contact with animals and surfaces that are in contact with them.
Make sure that proper food hygiene practices are followed at all times.
Handle raw meat, milk or organs of animals carefully to avoid contamination of uncooked food and avoid consuming raw or undercooked animal products.
