Infections are largely derived from nightlife. Using masks and keeping the distance to other people is now absolutely essential, says Katrimari Salmela, the doctor responsible for infectious diseases.
The most common incubation period for Covid infection is about 4 to 5 days but varies between 1 and 14 days.
