Are Sinus Infections Contagious?

Are sinus infections contagious? As we continue to deal with the pandemic, you might be wondering about whether a sinus infection might also be spread easily to those around you. The short answer is: not exactly.

Sinus infections can be caused by a virus, bacteria or allergies. While the sinus infection itself is not contagious, if yours was caused by an underlying virus, the virus could be.
