Agnes Wold, a professor and chief physician of infectious diseases, believes that if the infection has entered the home, it is too late to act.
– In general, it is the case that you are most contagious just when the disease breaks out. Often when you discover this, three to four days have already passed, he says and continues:
– Therefore, you will be infected around the same time that your family member discovers that he is sick.
If a family member becomes ill, Wold recommends staying home for five days.
– If you are not sick after a week, you have not been infected. Then you can go to work again, he says.
– Studies have been done on infectivity, even if you secrete viruses after a week, those viruses are not infectious. So if you are not infected after a week, you have some form of resistance to the virus.
Therefore, the couple is more contagious
Studies have shown that you have a 40 percent risk of being infected by your partner, spouse, or spouse if you get sick. The simple answer to the question of why is biology.
– It’s because you share a bed, kiss and hug, says Agnes Wold.
If another member of the family is infected, the risk of contracting the virus is 20 percent.
– This virus uses our way of being, because we are social herd animals and we are very close to those we know, says Wold.
Wold also believes that it is contrary to what many believe, that strangers in the store or on public transport would be the ones who would expose us to the risk of infection.
– On the contrary, it is the closest ones who are most contagious. It is simply because we have a different behavior towards them, it can be as simple as that we are physically closer to the people with whom we are related. It belongs to our biology and it is not something we can control.
