The cold virus, primarily rhinoviruses, is most commonly found in crowded places where people are in close contact, such as schools, offices, and public transportation. It can also thrive on surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and phones, where it can survive for several hours. Additionally, the virus is often present in respiratory secretions, making it easily transmissible through coughing, sneezing, or touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the face.

Are you more likely to get colds in a cold country?

Not really. Cold weather does not cause the viral infections we call the common cold. Only exposure to the virus germ that causes colds will give you the cold, not temperature changes. The only link between being in a cold country and catching colds is likely that you are indoors and more crowded to stay warm in cold countries, and that makes the chances higher that you will catch the virus from someone else in the room who has caught a cold.

You are most likely to spread a cold virus during the first few days of exhibiting symptoms, particularly when you have a runny nose or are coughing. This is when the virus is most active and can be transmitted to others through respiratory droplets. Additionally, you can still spread the virus for several days after symptoms have improved, making it important to practice good hygiene and avoid close contact with others during this time.
