How Can strep Throat Along With Fever Be Treated?

a caregiver has a roomate with strep throat and fever who is taking antibiotics as of Thursday. that caregiver went to the doctor today and was given the green light to keep working and got a letter to prove it. is it safe to have that person work with a ninety year old senior who is recovering from a severe case of pneumonia? will the gown, mask, and gloves keep the senior patient safe? how long is the bacteria harmful on surfaces that the caregiver may have touched at home? will Lysol spray kill the bacteria on surfaces? do we need to wash the laundry with anything special or will the detergent get rid of the bacteria?
