<s>[INST] Is pneumonia contagious? [/INST] No. Pneumonia as a disease is not contagious. However, germs causing this disease are free to travel from one person to another. Therefore, people who are already at a high risk of pneumonia; as for example a person with weakened immune system should not be in close contact with pneumonia patients; especially those suffering from bronchial pneumonia.
