ABSTRACT
We analyzed the duration of infectivity of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant by viral culture of respiratory samples collected daily from isolated patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The culture positivity rate of the Omicron variant was higher than that of the Delta variant within 8 days after symptom onset.
