My friend and her family all had the gastro stomache flu, how long after it passes r they still contagious? or not at all?

Let me explain: It depends on which virus is causing your stomach flu. With norovirus, the most common you’re contagious from the moment you begin to feel ill. Although you typically feel better after a day or two, you’re contagious for at least three days after you’ve recovered.
