“You should be very careful as to the onset of symptoms and frankly should probably be tested several days after that trip,” said Threlkeld. “Three to five [days], somewhere in that range out to seven [days] to see if you possibly could have contracted the infection and might be a risk to someone else, even if you are asymptomatic.”
