A member asked:
What are the best ways to avoid getting sick visiting a hospital or nursing home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wash hands: If visiting a patient, who is not in isolation due to an infectious disease, you do not need to take extra precautions than you would in interacting with other people. It would be a good practice to wash your hands with soap or use alcohol gel after the visit.
