and those who are infected”monkey pox“How many days do I have to quarantine?
The answer is considerably longer than COVID-19. Check out the WHO schedule about the different times after being infected. Assuming today is at risk because of coming into contact with an infected person, the virus has 21 days to incubate in our bodies. The host is unaware of the virus and has no symptoms. This stage is not the infective stage (by definition). If an infection occurs, the body will enter the second stage, known as the Febrile stage. It is a symptomatic stage, which is characterized by high fever, headache, chills, sore throat, body aches. enlarged lymph nodes This phase lasts about 1-4 days.
and in theory it is a contagious stage The next stage is called the rash stage, which is the stage where the body develops a rash and blisters appear on various parts of the body. It is the easiest stage to spread the infection. And lasts up to 2-4 weeks, after which it will go into Recovery, which means that the symptoms disappear, including the blisters on the skin that will dry up and become scaly.
If you really include the time For infected people who need to quarantine is 21 + 4 + 28 days, which is 53 days or almost 2 months. There is definitely a point if you really need to quarantine for this long.
