The time to recovery for somebody with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 depends on the severity of illness and varies from instantaneous through to extremely prolonged. Typically, time to recovery is within 10-14 days for mild and moderate cases. If a person feels unwell for longer than this, they should contact their general practitioner.
