Do you recommend isolating patients regardless of their signs or symptoms?

Yes, we recommend that for several reasons. We know with all these viruses that people can be positive and infectious/contagious before they are symptomatic. Sometimes it may take longer to develop symptoms – they may develop symptoms later that can cause problems if they aren’t isolated. If they are immunocompromised, they can be able to spread the virus for longer – even after symptoms have resolved.
