Flu Transmission: When Are You Contagious?
Adults can start passing the flu to others approximately one day before they begin showing symptoms.
They can then spread the flu to others during the four to five days after symptoms first appear. Some adults can spread the flu virus for as long as seven days after getting sick, including 1 day before symptoms develop.
