Coworker has bronchitis, was close to me and kept coughing, giving me high fives. i used hand sanitizer. could i catch? im 32 weeks pregnant
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not: This falls into the maybe category. Most of these are viral illnesses & pass in droplets or exposure too saliva. Good hand washing and avoiding close contact helps prevent spread. If you get it, it is unlikely to effect the baby.
