Seasonal influenza has a significant impact on individuals and society alike. In otherwise healthy adults, a typical case of seasonal influenza is associated with six to eight days of clinical symptoms, and about four to five days of sick leave. Transmission mainly takes place during the initial four days of the illness. Convalescence from disease should be expected to comprise seven days from symptom onset. In mild cases with symptoms lasting only few days, convalescence could be limited to four days unless prevention of transmission is given very high priority. Shorter duration of convalescence and workplace absence is not recommended due to risk of transmission.
季节性流感对个人和社会都有重大影响。在原本健康的成年人中，典型的季节性流感病例会伴有六到八天的临床症状，以及大约四到五天的病假。传播主要发生在疾病的最初四天。疾病的恢复期预计从症状出现起为七天。在症状仅持续几天的轻症病例中，恢复期可能限于四天，除非对预防传播给予高度重视。由于存在传播风险，不建议缩短恢复期和缺勤时间。
