It is a communicable disease that usually spreads from person to person directly or indirectly through the body secretions of the infected person that contain the virus particles. It is often passed along by respiratory droplets that contain the virus particles that are expelled by someone when they sneeze or cough. The virus can also live on surfaces such as a doorknob. A person touching an infected surface and then touching mucous tissue by way of an opening into the body (Eyes, nose, mouth) can contract the flu.
