Infectiousness

The period of infectiousness also remains the same as JN.1 and previous variants, the institution added.

In case of people who are severely to critically ill or have severe immunocompromise, the infectiousness likely ends within 20 days of the onset of symptoms.

News broke yesterday that a French researcher, supposedly well respected, found that hydroxychloroquine rapidly reduced the infectiousness of coronavirus patients.

As a result of the differential infectiousness of hosts, the feeding patterns of mosquitoes play an important role in WNV transmission, and they are partly genetically controlled, even within a species.
