Asymptomatic and mildly infected patients with omicron infection can turn negative in nucleic acid test in 5~7 days, while the common type may take 1~2 weeks, and the severely infected patients will take 1~2 months.
1. Asymptomatic and mildly infected patients can turn negative in 5~7 days after centralized isolation and TCM-assisted treatment due to the insignificant or relatively mild manifestation of their own symptoms as well as the low viral load in their bodies.
2. Patients with common type have relatively obvious symptoms and need symptomatic antiviral treatment, and the nucleic acid can be converted to negative in 1~2 weeks’ time.
3. If the patient is seriously ill, most of them have more serious underlying diseases, or their own state is poor, they need to be transferred to the ICU for treatment, and it usually takes 1~2 months or even longer for the nucleic acid to become negative.
