Some diseases cannot be spread unless there is a direct contact with the infected person. Using  information of direct contact between every pair (Pi, Pj) of n people, describe an algorithm with  appropriate data structure to determine person Pj could be reached by a sequence of direct contacts  stating from Pi. Estimate the time complexity of the algorithm.
