Question: hi..length of time for a virus to be contagious? NEED RULE OF THUMB RE KEEPING STAFF AT HOME.
Brief Answer:
Further details needed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. However, I would need you to specify which virus you are specifically talking about. Not all viruses are 'contagious' as modes of transmission might be specific enough not to occur in course of daily activities. I would therefore be glad if you specify if you are talking about common cold or some other virus.
I would await your response. Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
Regards
