You may feel up to : It physically but if you work in close proximity with others - you could spread it.

Debate of the Decade: The answer is no. It is not commonly listened to. Many people who are sick with a cough and congestion and feel ill still feel it mandatory to go to work. We even deal with this in our own small businesses, our clinics. But, in reality, if people avoided being around others for the first 48 hours that they felt ill the epidemics of these viral illnesses may diminish a bit.
