The time of catching flu is often 10 days.
Except for people that have comfortable work and work at home, most people
don’t have any other choices and they have to go to work.
However, 65% of people that attended

days. On the contrary, experts affirm that this thing is incorrect because flu
viruses can be infected about 1 day before there is appearance of flu’s symptom
and 7 days after catching disease.
