The country's National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID), which is conducting research on corona, has claimed that most patients cannot spread the infection to others 11 days after the virus has passed. He also claimed that the corona-infected person could spread the infection of this dangerous virus just two days before symptoms of the disease appeared in him.

 

Researchers have claimed this after research on 73 corona-infected patients admitted to hospitals. According to the Singapore newspaper Straight Times, the patient is more likely to increase the number of viruses in the body and spread in the air for seven days after symptoms of corona appear, but within the eighth to tenth day it begins to weaken and It is completely destroyed on the 11th day.

NCID director Leo Yi says that after 11 days of signs of infection, the patient is no longer dangerous to others. According to Indian-origin doctor Ashok Kurup involved in the research, the results of this study are highly accurate. It is safe to apply them to patients struggling with Covid-19, even if severely infected.

Rules can be changed in Singapore

Explain that according to the rules in Singapore, an infected patient is discharged within 24 hours after two swab tests come back negative. According to NCID, if the report of swab test is positive, it does not mean that the spread of virus in infected others can be caused. It is believed that after this research, the rules for corona infections in Singapore can be changed at present.

... but early vacation is not possible

However, critically ill patients require prolonged intensive care. Therefore, it is not appropriate to leave them after 11 days, even if there is no need to keep them separate, because even if they do not spread the infection to others, but their own life may be threatened.

Other research results in Germany

The research results in Singapore match those of another research conducted in Germany earlier. A research conducted in Germany found that the number of viruses in the patient's throat and lungs increased rapidly in the first 7 days of infection, but later the speed of spread decreased and ended after 11 days.
