Is Coxsackie Virus Contagious?

How long after the diagnosis of cocksackie is a person contagious? My children and grandchildren had it this week andcseem to be getting over it but not sure I should risk getting it if I babysit tomorrow (Saturday) night. Are you f**king kidding me???? I have to pay for an answer and you trick me with this at the end? At least be upfront about it!!! REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST IMMEDIATELY, FRAUDSTERS.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

Coxsackievirus is contagious for 1 week. After the 1st week as symptoms subside the chances of virus transmission decreases. By 2 nd week, the affected person is non-contagious.

Hope this answers your question
