- Use of gloves, hat, disposable apron and protective glasses;
- Perform hand hygiene respecting 5 moments;
- Equipment for the exclusive use of the patient: stethoscope, pressure devices and thermometer.

OBSERVATIONS
- Keep a record of ALL the people who came into contact with a suspicious case (professionals, visitors or family);
- People with diseases or conditions that reduce immunity (cancer, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, transplantation, people with HIV and pregnant women) cannot be chosen as companions for suspected or confirmed cases, or as health professionals designated to care for patients;
