Pneumonia itself is not contagious, but the infections that can lead to pneumonia, such as certain viruses and bacteria, can be spread from person to person. For example, viral pneumonia can arise from influenza or the common cold, which are contagious. However, once a person has pneumonia, they are not contagious if the pneumonia is caused by an infection that is not spreadable. It’s important to maintain good hygiene practices to prevent the spread of the underlying infections.
