How Long Does Covid Last? [Solved]
Most folks who’ve had COVID-19 get better within a few days to a few weeks, so four weeks after infection is when post-COVID conditions could first show up. Anyone who’s been infected can experience ’em.
Transmission: COVID-19 is primarily spread through close contact with an infected person, typically within 6 feet, when they cough, sneeze, or speak. It can also be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces and objects.
Incubation Period: The incubation period for COVID-19 is the time between exposure to the virus and symptom onset. It typically ranges from 2 to 14 days but can be as long as 24 days in some cases.
Symptoms: Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell and sore throat.
Treatment: There is currently no specific treatment for COVID-19; however supportive care can help relieve symptoms and reduce complications associated with the virus such as pneumonia and respiratory failure.
Prevention: To prevent the spread of COVID-19 it is important to practice social distancing by avoiding large gatherings and staying at least 6 feet away from other people when possible; wear a face covering in public settings; wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; avoid touching your eyes nose or mouth with unwashed hands; clean frequently touched surfaces regularly; stay home if you are sick; get tested if you have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19; get vaccinated when available
Covid can stick around for a while, so it’s important to take precautions. It can last up to two weeks, but in some cases it can linger for months. So don’t let your guard down - keep washing your hands and wearing a mask!
