Believe it or not, the contagious period vary from person to entity depending on the state of their health and their age. Most well people are contagious from a sunshine before to 5 days after they get hold of the flu...so the general consensus is that you are contagious for a week starting the time before you in reality get sick. That is the guideline that the CDC, Center for Disease Control, uses (a week).

There is no such item as the "stomach flu."

48 hours post-recovery at LEAST. They can shed virus for up to a WEEK after they stopped feeling sick.
If you work contained by day charge, health charge (with direct patient contact) or FOOD SERVICE, do NOT run back to work until at lowest 48 hours after your symptoms subsided.
"Stomach flu" is a misnomer. Viral gastroenteritis is not related to influenza at all. However, "viral gastroenteritis" can be a tough residence for people to grasp, so if "stomach flu" is easier for you to use, afterwards by all channel, use it. Just know the disease is NOT related to the real flu. Viral gastroenteritis is usually cause by norovirus. That's the same virus that strikes cruise ships, dorms and restaurants.
