Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

The flu virus is spread from person to person through respiratory droplets created when the infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It can spread through direct bodily contact, such as kissing, or through breathing in the droplets floating in the air. It can also be spread by people touching an item, such as eating utensils or dishes or shaking the hand of someone infected, and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes. According to the CDC, the flu virus can be spread by droplets in the air to others up to 6 feet away. People are often contagious 24 hours before they have any symptoms, and then 5 to 7 days after they become ill. Young children and people with weaker immune systems may be able to infect others even longer.
