Infection from Other People
Just like other forms of pneumonia, walking pneumonia is contagious. Thus, you might get infected easily when meeting with other people with this condition. The bacteria triggering the condition would spread from person to person and penetrate your body to cause walking pneumonia. Thus, it is better to avoid places and people where you might be at higher risk of encountering more germs. Stay away from public transportation, grocery stores, or crowed rooms with many people.
