In some cases, symptoms can take up to two weeks to appear. While most infections clear within five to seven days, around 28% of laboratory-confirmed cases necessitate hospitalization. The infection is commonly mild and doesn't require medical treatment in otherwise healthy individuals. However, more severe infections may occur, and these sometimes need antibiotic treatment.
