Depends on the type of illness you pick up. One person cannot be a plague but s/he can get infected by a plague. A plague technically is when an illness spreads across a population and is difficult to contain. For example the bubonic or black plague still exists today in improverished countries but it is usually contained before it gets out of control.
The person with the plague is treated with antibiotics and quarantined from everyone else until they recover.
