As long: As one washes hands and keep wounds covered MRSA won't be a problem. Mrsa is nearly everywhere these days.

Treatment length: Mrsa is most infectious if there is a wet or draining wound. Once the wound is dry and scabbed and antibiotics are clearing the infection the infectiousness goes down dramatically.
