One of the more vexing qualities of the COVID-19 virus is that a person infected with it can be contagious for days before they begin to show symptoms. Because of this, the individual might feel perfectly well as they go to the grocery store, or to a playground with their children, or to a friend’s house, even as they shed infectious viral particles.
Because so many COVID-19 infections occur when an asymptomatic person exposes others to the virus, public-health experts have sought to better understand the timeline of when a person is exposed to the virus, when their infection can be detected, when they become able to infect others, and when they might start to show symptoms.

Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo acknowledged the stress of the restrictions. The important thing for me is to recognize how much kids are struggling and families in this environment, to be denied, prevented I should say, the opportunity to be in class, participate with their friends and schoolmates, said Gordo.
Pasadena Public Health Director Dr. Ying-Ying Goh said in order to reopen grades K-6, the county needs to reach a threshold of 25 per 100,000 new daily COVID-19 cases for five days. The figure currently stands at 38 per 100,000 cases. But Goh says she is hopeful that the threshold will be met soon. If we continue to trend downward and I hope people keep following the guidelines so we keep trending downward, I expect that we could be there in a week or two, said Goh.
