My colleagues are now sick with the cold that I had last week, should I be responsible for this?

It is unlikely that you are responsible for your colleagues getting sick. Many different factors, including environmental conditions and genetic variations, affect who gets sick and how severe the illness may be. Just because you had a cold does not necessarily mean that everyone in close contact with you will also get sick.

No, you should not be responsible for your colleagues getting sick with the cold that you had last week. It is best to practice good hygiene such as covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, washing your hands often, and avoiding touching your face or other people in order to prevent the spread of germs.  If someone already has the cold, the best thing to do is have adequate rest and fluids as well as over-the-counter medications as recommended by a physician. Seek help from a healthcare professional if needed. In most cases, adults will get better without any lasting problems with proper care and self-management.
