(47,509 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.

(11,005 posts)I was exposed on a Wednesday and by Saturday I was down. I have no clue how Trump was even able to walk to the helicopter. I could barely get out of a chair to go to the bathroom.
