3. People with flu can spread the illness easily, as the infectious period starts one day before
symptoms show. The virus is usually spread in the small droplets of saliva coughed or sneezed into
the atmosphere by an infected person. Direct contact with contaminated hands can also pass the
virus on to a healthy person. After five days of flu-like symptoms, risk of spreading the virus
reduces.
