What Prevention Should Be Taken Against Flu Transmission In An Infant?
Question: My husband is sick with flu like symptoms...I am NOT sick and have no symptoms. My question is should I avoid our newborn grandchild? She is only a week old. I have been helping out but came back home to get supplies and my husband was ill. So I am unsure whether to go back and help out?
