Any close contact directly with another person can pass the flu virus to you which is why you are advised to stay a minimum of 6 feet away from anyone with the flu and they are advised to cover coughs and sneezes which, along with touching contaminated surfaces, is the most common way the flu viruses are transmitted from person to person.

Does the flu have environmental causes?
Not a direct cause. However, the virus that does cause flu is present in the environment and that is one way it spreads by our contact with the virions (virus particles) on objects and surfaces in the environment from others' coughs and sneezes (along with direct contact with infected individuals). There is another link between the environment and the incidences of influenza infections, too. That is that the flu likes the environment dry. In the northern hemisphere, our flu season occurs in the fall and winter. The latest info has it that there is a flu season because, at that time of year, the absolute humidity is low, making the type of dry environment that allows more activity by the viruses that cause the flu. See the related question about why flu has a season on this page.
