Since COVID-19 was first discovered, experts have been studying the duration of the infection. At first, people were told to isolate for 14 days—or two weeks—if infected. Months later, that number dropped to 10 days. Currently, the recommended isolation period is a minimum of 5 days but...
However, during the COVID-19 pandemic period, it is known that patients, rescuers and healthcare workers are at risk during basic life support applications due to the contagiousness of the virus. Due to all of these, basic life support guidelines have been updated and some ...
The incubation period of COVID-19 is the period between the infection of an individual by a pathogen (SARS-CoV-2) and the manifestation of the illness or disease. The incubation period is one of the important epidemiological parameters of infectious diseases. The study of the incubation period...
Surprisingly, a patient without any symptoms can possibly be a transmitter of the COVID-19 virus to others. This is when quarantining such people is necessary [12]. Moreover, the recovery period of this disease varies and depends on the patient’s age, underlying conditions, etc., but in ...

Finally, using the two indexes, allows us to conduct comparative analysis in terms of responses to the oil and COVID-19 shocks. The time period of collected data is from 21 January 2020 to 29 March 2020 and all the series are converted into natural logarithmic series. 2.1. The continuous ...
Additionally, the present study involved patients in a relatively short period of time of the COVID-19 pandemic and thus it was not possible to make a comparison between different waves of the disease. Since the virus has been evolving over time with the breakout of several variants associated...
We estimated the causal impacts and created a forecast through adopting monthly notifications of hepatitis B each year from 2005 to 2020 in mainland China using the Bayesian structural time series (BSTS) method. Results The hepatitis B epidemics fluctuates irregularly during the period 2005–2007(APC...
The present study aimed to (1) assess and validate the stability over a specific time period of COVID-19 detection in humans’ armpit sweat by trained dogs thanks to a double-blind laboratory test–retest design, and (2) assess this ability when sniffing people directly. Dogs were not ...
8 The average incubation period of SARS-CoV-2 is 3–5 days (with a range of 2–14 days), with variability noted amongst variants.9 Viral load and presumed infectiousness peaks early in the course of illness, and infected individuals without immunocompromise are presumed to no longer be ...
