In fact, although it is not possible to establish where there is contagion since the behaviors, movements and contacts of the population are extremely varied and the infected may have been infected in an indefinite number of places or even contingent or occasional occasions, it is instead extremely simple to verify the locations attendance and exclude those where the population of positives did not go in the 10/15 days preceding the detection of the virus in their upper respiratory tract “.
In practice “it is a question of evaluating the places defined as sensitive or at risk of transmission and verifying, de facto, if the infected had visited them, and how often, in the 15 days preceding the positive swab. The subjects studied are all asymptomatic – he specified the scientific director of Altamedica – And for asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic subjects, the scientific literature believes that the virus in the nasopharyngeal swab lasts a maximum of 15 days. So just go back 15 days and check if, in that period of time, certain environments or not “.
