Dec 20, 2021 · Estimates for this exposure-to-symptom gap, called the incubation period, clocked in at about five days for Alpha and four days for Delta. Now word has it that the newest kid on the pandemic block ...
Feb 24, 2024 · A review of studies conducted from 2020 to March 2022 indicated an average incubation period for COVID-19 at six to seven days, ranging from 1.8 to 18.87 days. The average incubation period shortened as new variants circulated, with Omicron at an average of 3.42 days. When and What Day to Test for COVID-19.
Jan 7, 2024 · Takeaways. If you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you may begin to show symptoms after a 3-5 day incubation period. The amount of time will depend on the variant you were exposed to ...
Jan 9, 2024 · Incubation periods averaged about five days when the Alpha variant was dominant, about 4.5 days when Beta and Delta were dominant, and about 3.4 days once Omicron took over, according to a 2022 ...

COVID-19 includes clinical features that present in varying ways with respect to frequency and severity and vary by age, vaccination status and variants of concern. Published reports often over-represent individuals who have more severe symptoms, and these may differ across care settings and between different age groups and vaccine statuses. Sympto...
A person who is asymptomaticis someone who has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 test and has never developed any symptoms. During the Omicron wave, a large study in South Africa estimated that 31% of cases were asymptomatic (approximately 1 in 3 cases). This study also reported high viral loads in asymptomatic cases. The asymptomatic carriage rate wa...
The pre-Omicron incubation period for COVID-19 had been estimated to range from 2 to 14 days, with a median of 4-7 days from exposure to symptom onset. Omicron has been found to have an incubation period of a median of 2-4 days, and its associated viral loads have been reported to peak in saliva 1-2 days before positive results can be seen in PCR o...
There is a spectrum of COVID-19 disease severity, ranging from asymptomatic, mild, moderate, to severe and critical disease. Severe disease occurs more often in older age and in those with underlying medical conditions, and the risk increases with the number of underlying medical conditions. The conditions identified below are those for which concl...
The SARS-CoV-2 virus has naturally mutated or changed over time. Mutations may increase or decrease transmissibility or virulence, or lead to immune escape or reduced responses to therapeutics compared to non-variant viruses. Compared to the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, we have seen an increased transmissibility with Omicron. Over time, new varia...

Jun 24, 2024 · Data from December 2021 suggests that Omicron’s average incubation period is around two to four days, which would mean that symptoms may develop faster after exposure compared to other variants. At this time, the BA.1 subvariant was the dominant strain. As the virus evolves, new subvariants emerge and become the dominant variant.
