Best Answer

This depends on the type of viral infection and how long it is contagious. It is best to be on the safe side and try to stay away until your health care professional says that the person is no longer contagious.

If the virus is a flu virus, then the CDC recommends that you should stay isolated from others until you have gone 24 hours straight without a fever when not taking fever-reducing medicines. Use a thermometer to measure your temperature frequently during that period and if you have a fever again, then wait another 24 hours.
