Child flu b fever start last tuesday 1/30. tomorrow morning she will be fever free for 24 hours. is she still contagious. we have an infant in house.

Maybe not: The flu is considered contagious for a week after the first symptoms appear. Being fever free is nice but not a guarantee.Transfer is usually by saliva or droplets from a cough. With an infant involved I would be cautious.

Good day, my wife just visited a GP at Medipark Centurion who felt it is not necessary to conduct a Covid-19 test. She has flu-like symptoms, a dry cough and measured a slight fever of 37.4C. We have a two week old infant at home and my mom who is 61?
