Can you catch a stomach virus from someone who is incubating it but have symptoms yet?

Yes, it is possible to catch a stomach virus from someone who is incubating the virus and does not yet have symptoms. This is because the virus is passed through contact with infected particles, such as vomit, diarrhea, or respiratory droplets. During the incubation period of the virus, which can range from several hours to a few days, an infected person can spread the virus without actually experiencing any symptoms. This is a major concern for controlling the spread of stomach viruses, as it is often difficult to identify and isolate individuals during this time. It is important to practice good hygiene, such as hand washing and avoiding contaminated surfaces, to reduce the risk of catching a stomach virus from an infected person, regardless of whether they are symptomatic or not.
