Measles can be dangerous , especially for babies and young children.
Call your healthcare provider immediately if you think you or your child have been exposed to measles.
Tiny white spots (Koplik spots) may appear inside the mouth two to three days after symptoms begin.
Three to five days after symptoms begin, a rash breaks out. It usually begins as flat red spots that appear on the face at the hairline and spread downward to the neck, trunk, arms, legs, and feet.

July 21, 2021: Since this article was originally published, new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have become prevalent. Vaccination continues to be highly protective against serious illness, hospitalization, and death, even with the more transmissible Delta variant. But we’ve changed some of our recommendations about masking and other precautions for vaccinated individuals in certain situations, even when precautions are not required. Read more .

How long before COVID-19 symptoms appear is a person contagious? In other words, based on the day a person actually becomes ill, how far back should contact tracing go?
While the incubation period for the virus can be as long as 14 days, research suggests that people who are infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 illness, may become infectious to others several days before they start to feel ill.
A study of 94 patients in China showed that viral load peaked shortly after the onset of symptoms, indicating that people may actually be more infectious in the days before they become ill and before the immune system has a chance to kick in. Another study, which looked at 77 pairs of individuals in which one person infected the other, found that contagiousness both began and peaked before the first symptoms of illness — 2.3 days and 0.7 days respectively. Those researchers concluded that about 44 percent of COVID-19 infections spread from person to person before symptom onset.*
For this reason, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers contact tracing to be crucial in protecting communities from further spread of the virus. “Time is of the essence,” they state. “If communities are unable to effectively isolate patients and ensure contacts can separate themselves from others, rapid community spread of COVID-19 is likely to increase to the point that strict mitigation strategies will again be needed to contain the virus.”
The CDC’s contract-tracing protocol involves identifying and contacting close contacts of individuals who are diagnosed with COVID-19. The CDC identifies a “close contact” as “someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 48 hours before illness onset until the time the patient is isolated.” Anyone who has been informed that they have had that level of contact with someone who has been positively diagnosed with COVID-19 should stay home, maintain social distancing, and self-monitor until 14 days from the last date of exposure to the infected individual.
*After discovering a syntactical error in their original code, the authors of this study reanalyzed their data and published a correction in August 2020. Though this reanalysis did not change their estimate of the proportion of presymptomatic transmission (44%), it did show that infectiousness peaked at symptom onset rather than slightly earlier, as originally observed. They also found that infectiousness started to rise, on average, earlier than noted in their original paper — at about three days prior to symptom onset, with approximately 9% of viral transmission occurring even earlier.

The world’s first “human challenge” trial in which volunteers were deliberately infected with COVID-19 has found that people typically develop symptoms very quickly — on average, within two days of being exposed to the virus, according to a new study.
Researchers at Imperial College London who infected 36 people found that symptoms start to develop within about 42 hours, which is earlier than the widely held view that the bug has an incubation period of around five days, Reuters reported.
The virus peaks about five days into infection and at that stage, it is significantly more abundant in the nose than the throat, where the infection first appears, according to the study.
The 36 participants — healthy men and women age 18 to 29 with no immunity to the virus — were monitored at the Royal Free hospital in London, the Guardian reported .
The study was carried out using the original SARS-CoV-2 strain before the emergence of the Alpha, Delta and Omicron variants. Its results, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, were published on Springer Nature’s pre-print server.
No serious adverse events occurred, and the human challenge study model was reportedly shown to be safe and well-tolerated among healthy young adults.
Eighteen volunteers became infected, 16 of whom developed mild to moderate cold-like symptoms, including a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing and a sore throat. Some experienced headaches, muscle and joint aches, fatigue and fever.
The 18 all had similar viral loads regardless of whether they developed symptoms, underlining the role of asymptomatic transmission.
