Chinese researchers: coronavirus carrier can transmit it during the period of more than 20 days
Carriers of the COVID-19 coronavirus can transmit the infection during the period of 20-37 days since its first symptoms, researchers from universities in Wuhan and Beijing have found out. Tiny particles are breath out by the infected person. The researchers studied several hundred sick people and found out that the drugs could improve the condition of those infected, but did not block the regeneration and spread of COVID-19 particles. As severe the disease case, as longer people can remain the carriers of the coronavirus. While designing the response to the COVID-19 threat, as well as when testing various drugs, the long-term presence of the virus in the patient’s body and its possible transmission to other people who are not yet infected should be considered, TASS informs citing to the survey. Scientists said that COVID-19 is caused by a virus similar to the one that causes Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome (MERS).
