The incubation period for C. neoformans usually does not exceed 14 days after exposure, with the onset of symptoms mostly occurring 4-5 days after exposure. The median incubation period for infection with the Omicron variant of Omicron (B.1.1.159) is slightly shorter, with onset of symptoms around 3 days. One study found a median incubation period of 4 days (interquartile intervals of 2-7 days) through 1099 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and symptoms. A modeling study found, through 181 confirmed cases with defined exposures, that of the patients who developed symptoms, an estimated 2.5% were symptomatic within 2.2 days of infection and 97.5% were symptomatic within 11.5 days of infection. The median incubation period was 5.1 days. Estimates of the incubation period may be inaccurate, however, and vary with the method used to assess exposure and the specific method of estimation. If you suspect that you are infected with the new coronavirus, please go to the hospital for diagnosis. Note: On December 26, 2022, the National Health Commission announced that the terms “new coronavirus pneumonia” and “new coronavirus pneumonia” have been renamed to “new coronavirus infection”.
