H1N1 Contagious Longer than Thought

Swine flu spreads week or more after symptoms
New studies show that many people spread swine flu for a week or more after symptoms first appear, and doctors say coughing may be a better sign than ...fever for telling who is contagious.
Health officials have been telling people to avoid contact with others for a day after their fever goes away.
The new research suggests they may need to be careful for longer, especially at home where the risk of spreading the germ is highest.
