Is pneumonia contagious?

[Richard]

Yes it is, sometimes very contagious. However, before you put on a mask to walk outside, most people are able to fight off the microbes before it puts them in the hospital. Use common sense.

Respiratory infections could be spread through air and be careful if someone with chest infection is coughing. So I will say it is contagious.
