Study: Coronavirus Patients No Longer Infectious After 11 Days

by

A new study suggests that coronavirus patients are no longer infectious 11 days after getting sick. If true, it could mean patients who test positive for COVID-19 can be released from hospitals earlier.  Current protocols require 14 days of isolation. Researchers in Singapore say the infectious period begins about two days before symptoms appear and lasts for 7-10 days total.  After 11 days, the virus is no longer replicating and cannot spread.

Has your approach to the quarantine changed in the last week or so?  Are people returning to ‘normal’ life too fast, or is it time?
