My husband started a cold on 23 Dec, he spent several days sneezing and spluttering. He now has the hacking cough that is going the rounds. He isn't ill, just coughing a lot. Am I still at risk of getting the virus of him? I have tried very hard to avoid his germs.
Many different viruses that cause the symptoms that you describe, but your husband would cease to be a danger to you ( infectious) from about the first day of 2017...New Year's day.
