Pneumonia is a contagious condition
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is frequently caused by contagious pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, which can spread between individuals via respiratory droplets.
The retrieved papers extensively document the contagious nature of various types of pneumonia (such as COVID-19, viral pneumonia, and bacterial pneumonia) through human-to-human transmission, respiratory droplet spread, and epidemiological outbreak modeling. No papers refute the contagiousness of infectious pneumonia.
