As the number of new coronavirus pneumonia diagnosed has increased, scientists have accumulated more data on the deadly virus. According to research gathered from over 1000 patients, the scientist found out that the Corona Virus can last up to 24 days and not 14 days.
The 1,099 patients intercepted by a medical team in China had an onset date from January 1, 2020, to January 29, 2020.
The starting point of this set of data coincides with the time when new coronavirus pneumonia cases were first discovered.
In this thesis, a retrospective study of the clinical characteristics of 1099 patients (as of January 29) diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia was conducted. The study found that the median incubation period for neo-coronary pneumonia is 3.0 days, with a maximum of 24 days.
From asymptomatic infection to fever-free cases, to “false negative” cases, the incubation period is now up to 24 days.
This new set of data is certainly alarming.
