Can a person with the flu transmit it even before the symptoms appear?
Influenza viruses are transported by tiny droplets. The droplets are dispersed in the air with coughs and sneezes. So, in general, the infection can be spread by anyone with the usual symptoms (coughing, sneezing, runny nose, etc.). Sometimes the virus can spread even before symptoms appear. But this occurs only through close contact, such as sharing the same glasses, towels, cutlery, etc. 6.
