Everyone in your household needs to follow all the same CDC guidelines as your husband. All should limit their outside your home trips. Most medical professionals also say one of the best preventative measures all should follow is to wash your hands frequently.

How long ago did your husband have his transplant?

I am 20 years post transplant. My nephrologist has me take my temp daily. For many, that is the first sign of the virus.
