Jude isn't in isolation, however she is in a private room. I wasn't required to wear protective clothing and neither did any of the hospital staff. I asked her RN the first day and was told it is spread by touch not by breathing. That is why it is importand to keep our own cuts covered. I wash my hands before I leave her room. Patti - Michigan
