Yes..but: Keep in mind that your shedding a pretty contagious virus. You should have no contact with pregnant women or anyone immunocompromised. Anyone on steroids (oral..For copd) should be avoided as well. Patients with hiv, any solid organ transplant patient or the elderly should also be avoided. These groups are prone to infection.
