I kept my godson on Sunday and Monday (he had a stomach bug on Friday). If I take him back tomorrow, can we recontaminate ourselves?

He gave it to my parents so I had taken it. My parents came to get it yesterday so I could rest today.

Good evening ma'am,

Yes, there is a theoretical risk that you will catch it in turn.

To reduce this risk, be sure to wash your hands as frequently as possible and avoid putting your hand to your mouth (especially if they are not clean).

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
