Is it ok to go swimming with glandular fever?
My child has it and she has just very mild syptoms. Getting better.

We are due to go on holiday in 2 weeks.

I realise the virus is transmitted in saliva.
But is a pool ok, with the chlorine etc?

She will be phyisically fine.
But wondering about passing it to others as it stays in saliva for quite a while after symptoms have ended.
