Solution

You are more likely to fall sick when your friend is suffering from common cold. This is because common cold is contagious and can easily spread through the air. This contagious virus can spread by coughing and sneezing via close personal contact or direct contact with body secretions. Thus, if your friend is suffering from common cold, it is advised to stay away from him/ her to prevent yourself from getting infected.
