When is a person with a common cold contagious?

There does not appear to be a period of time that a cold is least contagious. Scientists believe that a person who has the common cold can be contagious for a few days before their symptoms begin right up until the time when their symptoms subside. This period of time could take up to two weeks. However, the period of time when a cold is most contagious is usually when the symptoms are at their worst, usually 2 to 4 days into the cold.
