Abstract

As the pandemic evolves, we assimilate concepts that are very relevant to better understand the situation. Much progress has been made, in just a few months, in understanding the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 and the duration of infectivity in patients. In this sense, it is very important to know when a person diagnosed with Covid 19 stops transmitting the disease. At the beginning of the pandemic, there was a correlation between positivity and infectivity. This is, it was thought that all people with positive RTPCR could transmit SARS-CoV-2 [1].
