Asymptomatic VS. Pre-Symptomatic
There has been a lot of conversation this week about asymptomatic spread of COVID-19. Asymptomatic is generally defined as an infected individual who shows (or reports) no symptoms of illness. There’s not enough data to know how common asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 is.
However, we know it is likely that people who are “pre-symptomatic” may be spreading the virus in our community without being aware that they have it. According to CDC, the incubation period for COVID-19 is 2 to 14 days, meaning a person can become ill with the virus up to 2 weeks after exposure to someone infected.Current research has shown it takes an average of 3-6 days after exposure to COVID-19 for symptoms to surface. Prior to showing symptoms, those who are infected are considered pre-symptomatic, and are still capable of shedding the virus and spreading it to others.
> Asymptomatic spread = spreading the disease without ever developing symptoms
> Presymptomatic spread = spreading the disease before symptoms start
For this reason, everyone should limit their exposure to others, maintain 6 feet of distance in public, and wear a cloth mask if distance cannot be maintained.

What Close Contacts Of Covid-19 Patients Should Know
When Public Health is notified of a positive test result for COVID-19, disease investigators track down all the places and people the person was in contact with, starting 48 hours before their symptoms began. Close contacts are generally those exposed to the sick person for an extended period of time (generally more than 10 minutes) at a close proximity (6 ft. or less).
If you are identified as a close contact (not a household contact) of someone infected with COVID-19, you will receive a phone call from Public Health. You’ll be provided information about how to monitor for symptoms of illness for 14 days and what protective measures you should take during that time to prevent potential exposure to others. To help answer questions about the contact tracing process, including how to verify the call is coming from Public Health, a new page has been created at Maricopa.gov/CovidTracing.
