Patients with novel coronavirus infection generally require a minimum of 14 days of isolation. Currently, patients with novel coronavirus infection can discharge the virus to infect people around them, both during the infection period and during the incubation period. Currently, through investigation, the fastest patients with novel coronavirus (pneumonia) can develop in 1 day, and the longest has been found to develop in >14 days, which is called the incubation period, and the average duration of the incubation period is 7-10 days. Patients who have suspected cases, such as contact with suspected people or have been to the infected area, for example, have been to Hubei or have lived in Wuhan, will put this part of the population in a separate room for isolation first, and the shortest time will be 14 days. During these 14 days, patients are observed for temperature, respiratory symptoms, and other clinical manifestations, such as coughing, coughing, and mental problems. If no abnormalities occur for 14 days, the patient is generally considered not to be infected with the novel coronavirus and can be released from isolation. Content source: Dr. You Lai
