Calling any nurses !

So we just found out the my MIL has been in the hospital for the last 4 days. No one knows what she has but she just came back from Mexico so a tropical disease is suspected, no diagnosis yet and she is very ill. No one in the family told us bc they were afraid we would go visit her and since Im PG , possibly take some germs home from the hospital. Well of course when DH found out he hopped in the car to go see her. Since they have no diagnosis some nurses are treating her as if shes quarantine and some are not, there is no quarantine signage on her door.
Im now freaked out about DH bringing what she has home ! I wanted to tell him not to go but that would be so selfish of me, of course he needs to go see her. How do I handle him going to see her? Get him to strip at the door and keep his shoes outside??
How do you handle patients at work in similar situations being PG ?

Re: Calling any nurses !
As what the other posts above, if she is in isolation, even your husband can't go inside her room, unless he's in overall protective clothing, masks, shoe covers, etc. Your chance of being infected is low as long as they follow the protocol in the hospital including your husband. Make sure your husband washes his hands often and yours too. You can wash his clothes right away.
