How does influenza spread?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Coughing:

Droplets released during a flu-infected person's coughing can carry the virus.

Sneezing:

Small particle droplets, known as nuclei, produced during sneezing may contain the influenza virus.

Talking:

1. Larger respiratory droplets generated while talking can also contribute to the transmission of the influenza virus.

2. These modes underscore the importance of practicing good respiratory hygiene to minimize the risk of virus spread.

Thanks
