Yes, standard contact precautions are needed because it spreads through fecal-oral routes. At my age, I just wash my hands ten times a day anyway to avoid any drama!

Yes, contact precautions are typically advised, especially with diaper changes or washing an infected person's clothes. I try to be extra careful with hygiene due to my sensitive health issues.

When I was recovering, my family used strict contact precautions like separate bathrooms and washing my dishes separately with hot water. It really helped keep them safe.
