At the beginning of a viral infection, like the cold and flu, you can be contagious while showing no symptoms at all for a day or even two. However, the rule of thumb is that after having a fever with the flu and then it subsides, once you have gone a full 24 hours after that without a fever (when taking no fever-reducing medicines), you are considered no longer contagious and can go back into public again.
