“What does incubation period mean then? “

The time from exposure to when the virus has multiplied enough for a person to become sick.

The “time to sick” can be more or less depending on how a person’s immune system fights off the virus multiplication.

I am not a doctor. This is based on what I have read.

Okay. Sounds like the incubation period has nothing to do with when the person can transmit the disease.

Thx for your help.
