How long are you infectious
As the coronavirus pandemic stretches on, a small proportion of Australians infected have now died, while most have either recovered, or are likely to recover over the next few weeks.

One thing many of us want to know is for how long people who have SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, are able to pass it on to someone else.

Let's look at what the science tells us so far.
How long does it take to get sick?
The "incubation period" is the time between being exposed to the virus and the onset of symptoms.
Let's look at what science has been telling us so far.
How long is it going to take to get sick?
The "incubation period" is the time between exposure to the virus and the onset of symptoms.
For COVID-19, the incubation period ranges from 1 to 14 days. But most people who develop COVID-19 symptoms do so 4 to 6 days after exposure.

How long have you been infected?
The "Infectious Period" means the time you can spread the virus to someone else.
For COVID-19, there is emerging evidence to suggest the infectious period may start 1 to 3 days before you develop symptoms.
The most infectious period is thought to be 1 to 3 days before symptoms start, and in the first 7 days after symptoms begin. But some people may remain infectious for longer.
Commonly reported symptoms for COVID-19 - such as fever, cough and fatigue - usually last around 9 to 10 days buthis can be longer.

The most infectious period is thought to be 1 to 3 days before symptoms begin and 7 days after symptoms begin. But some people may continue to be infectious for longer.
Commonly reported symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever , cough and fatigue, usually last around 9 years.
Why are some people infectious for longer?
Why are some people more contagious?
Typically with viruses, the higher the viral load (the more virus circulating in the body), the higher the risk of transmission through known transmission pathways.

A study conducted in Hong Kong looking at viral load in 23 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 found higher viral loads in the first week of illness.

Another study from China looking at 76 hospitalized patients found that by 10 days after symptom onset, mild cases had cleared the virus. That is, no virus was detectable through testing.
Another study from China, which looked at 76 hospitalized patients, found that mild cases cleared the virus 10 days after the onset of the symptoms. That is, no virus could be detected by testing.
However, severe cases have much higher viral loads and many continue to test positive beyond the 10 days after symptoms start.
So the more severe the illness and the higher the viral load, the longer you continue to shed the virus and are infectious.
When are you no longer infectious?
Severe cases, however, have much higher viral loads and many continue to have a positive test more than 10 days after symptoms begin.
As a result, the more serious the disease and the higher the viral load, the longer you continue to spread the virus and become infectious.
When are you no longer contagious?
If someone has been symptom-free for 3 days and they developed their first symptoms more than 10 days prior, they are no longer considered to be infectious.
If someone has been symptom-free for 3 days and has developed their first symptoms more than 10 days before, they are no longer considered to be infectious.
But we're not sure whether people are infectious when they have recovered but the virus can still be detected in their bodies.

One study from Hong Kong found the virus could be detected for 20 days or longer after the initial onset of symptoms in one-third of patients tested.

Another study from China found the virus in a patients' fecal samples five weeks after the first onset of symptoms.

But the detection of the virus doesn't necessarily mean the person is infectious. We need more studies with larger sample sizes to get to the bottom of this question.

Should you get tested again before going back into the community?
Are you supposed to get tested again before you go back to the community?
Due to a global shortage of corona virus tests, the Commonwealth and state governments have strict criteria about who should be tested for COVID-19 and when.

People who have been self-quarantining, because they had contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 and have completed their 14-day quarantine period without developing symptoms, can return to the community. There is no requirement to be tested prior to returning to the community. it is, however, recommended they continue to practice social distancing and good hygiene as a precaution.

The requirements are different for people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19. At present, re-testing people who have experienced mild illness, and have recovered from COVID-19 is not recommended. A person is considered safe to return to the community and discontinue self-isolation if they are no longer infectious.

At present, it is not recommended to re-test people who have experienced mild illness and have recovered from COVID-19. A person is considered safe to return to the community and to cease self-isolation if they are no longer infectious.
This means they developed their first symptoms more than 10 days prior and have not experienced any symptoms for at least 3 days (72 hours). For people who have been hospitalized with more severe illness, the testing requirements before discharge are different. They will have two swabs taken 24 hours apart to check if they have cleared the virus. If the swabs are both negative, they can be discharged and don't require further self-isolation. If one or both tests are positive but the person is well enough to go home, they must continue to self-isolate for at least 10 days since they were discharged from hospital and they have not experienced any symptoms for at least 3 days.
