The incubation period of swine flu is between 1 and 7 days according to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. They say that they think it is most likely 1 to 4 days. During this time, you can still shed the virus and infect other people.
Swine Flu Incubation PeriodIn general, the incubation period for the influenza virus (all types of flu) is 2 days, but can range from 1 to 5 days. In most US cases, the incubation period for swine flu seems to range from 2 to 7 days.Obviously, the exact swine flu incubation period is still disputed. It would be wise to keep a close eye on symptoms for about a week, and up to 10 days to be safe.Swine Flu SymptomsSymptoms for the swine flu are similar to regular flu: fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue.
