Best Answer

Influenza is contagious when droplets containing the virus are coughed or sneezed into the air by an infected person and then inhaled by another person. The virus can also be passed along by hand or other physical contact between two people. Contagion is minimized by people who avoid coughing or sneezing directly at others, and who sanitize their hands before touching their nose or mouth if there is a possibility that their hands may have virus on them.
