The incubation period of the omicron variant strain is theoretically 14 days, but currently averages 3 to 5 days.
According to the relevant reports and clinical cases of the new coronavirus, the incubation period of omicron is theoretically around 1 to 14 days, and the time between the exposure history of some infected people and the positive nucleic acid test or the onset of disease can also reach 14 days, with a relatively long incubation period.
However, the incubation period of most infected people is now around 3 to 5 days, with a significantly shorter incubation period, and asymptomatic infected people are now the main group.
As a result, infected individuals do not perceive their own symptoms clearly and can only be definitively screened or diagnosed with a new coronavirus infection if they have a positive result in an antigen self-test or nucleic acid test.
