You can help prevent getting sick with or transmitting bacterial and viral infections by:
Treatment:
You’re contagious before you have symptoms — during the incubation period, when the virus enters your system. And just because you feel better doesn’t mean those around you are safe. In fact, you’re still contagious after symptoms subside, carrying a bacterial or viral infection that can spread to others.
For viral infection and viral syndrome we use the code 079.99. But we assign 078.89 for viral illness since in the alphabetic index, illness directs us to disease and disease viral is 078.89.
