Chinese studies: CV19 sheds virus particulars for 20 days, both transmitting pre and post symptoms, suggesting quarantine periods may need to be longer raising new containment challenges.
Ingrained hand washing & hygiene measures particularly important.

Answering one of my questions, it seems that those given anti viral medication, did not reduce the period of the virus shedding.
This may mean that anti virals should be administered for longer.

It is estimated that 44% of transmissions occur before the infected person displays symptoms.
Contact tracing and isolation alone unlikely to be successful at containment, hence the need for social distancing an excellent hygiene

8 out of 10 children aged 2m to 15 yrs old persistently tested positive for the virus on rectal swabs after nasal swabs returned negative results. @match_joe
That would surely have issues for Drive thru’ or public testing booths!
Might explain the rebound cases.
