Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses, some of them causing human diseases, and others occur in animals, including camels, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people exposed to infected animals and then spread to humans. Viruses are small particles of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) that are surrounded by a protein coat.

How long are Viral Infections Contagious?

Infection refers to the ability of a virus to be transmitted from one person (or host) to another. Viral infections are contagious for different periods of time, depending on the virus. An incubation period refers to the time between exposure to a virus (or other pathogens) and the onset of symptoms. The infectious period of a virus is not necessarily the same as the incubation period.
