A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you still have: flu symptoms - please reconsider going to school to avoid infecting others. According to the CDC: “Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer than 7 days.”
