I got a cold over the Thanksgiving (US) weekend. I assume going to the gym is a no no. Is there a time when it is not contagious even if I have symptoms? (Congestion and cough.)
The vast majority of cold viruses are spread thru nasal secretions. If you have those, you’re definitely spreading germs. Generally on the basis of wiping your nose, and then touching someone else. But anytime you’re sneezing or coughing, you have the potential to infect another.
