General principles regarding isolation include that anything that is brought into the isolation area must not be removed except in proper containers, which are then placed in an outside container labeled "Hazardous Material-Biohazard." They also include never shaking linen when removing it or placing it on the bed, turning faucets on and off using a paper towel to protect the hands, and that floors are considered contaminated; anything dropped on the floor is contaminated and must be discarded or cleaned carefully before reuse.
