Coronavirus has an incubation period during which people are already in contact with the virus before noticing the symptoms. Some people who are asymptomatic are also diagnosed with Covid-19.
| Severity | Transmission Period |
| No symptoms | Since the symptoms appeared before 10 days |
| Mild Symptoms | 10 days after the symptoms showed |
| Severe Symptoms | Till 20 days after symptoms appear |

People who have had long COVID experiences also last longer with some more prolonged symptoms.
