ComCor study: the impact of variants and circumstances of infection on the COVID-19 incubation period
The link between the viral variant and length of the COVID-19 incubation period is still a matter of debate. Scientists from the Institut Pasteur conducted a survey of thousands of volunteers for more than a year to provide an answer.
Launched in October 2020, the ComCor study investigates the environment, practices and places visited by people recently infected with SARS-CoV-2. The aim is to identify factors that might influence the COVID-19 incubation period, in other words the time between an infectious contact with the virus and the onset of the first symptoms.
