My son had gastroenteritis on Wednesday night. How long should I stay on guard for his sisters in case of contagion?

It is recommended to wait approximately 2 days after the last symptoms of gastroenteritis have subsided in one family member before confirming that other family members won't catch it. This allows for the maximum incubation period of the illness to pass, reducing the risk of contagion.
