The time it takes for a pathogen to be detected during the incubation period is related to the type of pathogen, taking about 3 to 7 days for influenza viruses and about 14 days for new coronaviruses to be detected.
Each pathogen has a different pathogenicity and ability to spread, so the time to detect pathogens during the incubation period cannot be generalized. For influenza viruses, the incubation time is generally shorter, taking 3 to 7 days to detect, while for the new coronavirus, the incubation time is longer, taking about 14 days to detect. Other pathogens vary.
If the recent contact with the pathogen infected people, then the chances of their own infection is also relatively large, it is recommended to do a good job of isolation measures, timely monitoring of the new crown pneumonia nucleic acid, if there is physical discomfort need to consult a doctor in a timely manner, as early as possible to find the disease, reduce the spread of pathogens.
