A recent research on persons with moderate COVID-19 determines how long people are infectious and when they may safely be released from isolation.
Covid-19 virus has been changing its nature, symptoms and infection severity since it first hit the world. The recent surge in cases has new symptoms and severity which has led to 25% rise in cases and hospitalisation across the country.
But for how long does the infection last in your body? A recent research was conducted on 393 people out of which 57 persons had moderate COVID-19 infection at the start and comprised the final study population to state how long people are infectious and when they may safely be released from isolation.
The research, which is led by Imperial College London and published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal, is the first to unveil how long infectiousness lasts for after natural COVID-19 infection in the community.
