The common cold is infectious from a few days before your symptoms appear until all of the symptoms are gone. Most people will be infectious for around 2 weeks. Symptoms are usually worse during the first 2 to 3 days, and this is when you're most likely to spread the virus. If any of your relatives is immune compromised, it would be prudent for both of you to wear masks, and stay more than 6 feet
