Yes, the guideline and practice of isolation with contagious infections is important and effective. Essentials are: not touching; not sleeping together; not eating at the same table; keeping six feet apart; separate beds and bedrooms; bathroom use spaced by several minutes with complete wipe over countertops, sinks, toilet, and separate towels; daily laundry of clothes and pillowcases and sheets and towels; paper towels for routine hand washing; mask if car riding; ideally separate sitting rooms. It is definitely a helpful practice too to clean face and lips and nostrils two to three times each day. Discard q-tips after cleaning. Clean hands. A q-tip wetted with hydrogen peroxide is very effective at cleaning and disinfecting nostrils. Do this three times each day also.
