Following clinic or board protocols when a contagious disease is suspected focuses on safety and keeping thorough records. Safety is the priority: isolate or separate the person as required, use appropriate personal protective equipment, and follow established steps to prevent the spread of illness.

Together, these elements protect clients and staff, support regulatory and professional standards, and help preserve trust in the practice.
