Duration of infectiousness and correlation with RT-PCR cycle threshold values in cases of COVID-19, England, January to May 2020 separator commenting unavailable

Based on the real-world data described here, we recommend that infection control measures for persons with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 be particularly focussed immediately after onset of symptoms and retained for 10 days. Asymptomatic and presymptomatic persons are likely to be a source of infectious virus. Detection of cultivable SARS-CoV-2 from URT samples is valuable as a proxy for infectiousness; however, as the human infectious dose remains unknown, the significance of low titres of infectious virus for human-to-human transmission remains uncertain. Correlation with observational epidemiological data analysing known infector–infectee pairs is required to fully understand the dynamics of infectiousness and viral transmissibility.
