Why does isolating an infected person reduce the spread of a communicable disease?
The pathogens inside the isolated person stop reproducing
The isolated person produces fewer toxins in their tissues
The pathogen changes so that it can no longer be spread
The isolated person has contact with fewer uninfected people
