If You Do Get Sick
April 29th, 2009
Stay home, not only will you no longer put others at risk of being infected, you also increase your own chances of survival and recovery by allowing your body to rest. Even after you are cured it will take seven days before you are no longer contagious to others. Children will take longer to become no longer contagious. Contact your health care provider and inform them of your condition, they will tell you whether or not you need further care. Treatment is most effective if received within two days of being infected.
