(47,418 posts)Incubation period is up to 14 days. On average is 4-5 days.
During incubation period, a person can still test negative and be infected.

(19,264 posts)yes he is still at risk. If he tests negative on Sunday that is 5 days which is the median point (50% of people report positive or show symptoms by day 5) so that would be a good sign. By Thursday the risk of infection would be very low but not impossible. To know with 100% (well near 100%) confidence will require 15 days.
