        @laney hysical measures (if possible or practical) include the following:

        Isolate patients with possible TB in a private room with negative pressure

        Have medical staff wear high-efficiency disposable masks sufficient to filter the bacillus

        Continue isolation until sputum smears are negative for 3 consecutive determinations (usually after approximately 2-4 weeks of treatment)
