Texas State Department of
Health:
1. The most Important method
of control is directed toward good
sanitation of personal hygiene.
All restrooms should have plenty
of soap and clean or disposable
towels available. Small children
should be trained how to wash
properly after using restrooms.
2. The patient should stay at
home away from other individuals
'for at least 7 days after jaundice
appears. Even though he may
still show some degree of
jaundice after 7 to 10 days, he
is probably no longer contagious.
3. The remaining members of
the family do not need to be
quarantined. They may continue
with school or work but should
maintain proper sanitation as
directed above.
