Could The Person Suffering With Shingles Be Contagious?

Hi,

My wife has just been diagnosed with shingles (yesterday). We have the prescribe meds from the DR and were wondering what the do's and don'ts at this time.

Should she be going out or just stay inside? How contagious is she at this point? Is there anything she can do other than these prescribe meds?

Thank you

John Muller
