A member asked:
Is it likely to get rubella from shaking hands with someone who might have it but doesn't show any symptoms ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: It is unlikely to obtain rubella from shaking hands with someone who does not exhibit signs of rubella. Rubella normally is passed on from inhalation of large particle aerosols and generally from a prolonged period of contact. All the best!
