Possible. Low risk.: For viral infections such as stomach flu or respiratory flu, close personal contact increases the chances of transmission. With respiratory infections, airborne transmission is more likely than with gastrointestinal infections. In brief encounters, if germs are not airborne, transmission is less likely.
