Bronchitis

2018-03-07 15:56:22
Hello, I have been diagnosed with bronchitis yesterday and am taking Azithromycin since yesterday. I am staying at a friend‘s house while they are on holidays. Can I ask- how long can germs in this case survive on surfaces, that is how many days/hours should I leave before my friends come so that they can’tbri get infected? Many thanks!

The microbes can survive in the surroundings till 24 hrs.... But you can use a face mask, it's a much better option.
