Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for defining an isolation area around an individual. Such an apparatus includes a frame having two opposing and spaced-apart side walls, an interior region within an interior of the apparatus and defined by and between the side walls, and one or more connecting members spanning the interior region and coupling the opposing side walls. Isolation barriers are coupled to the frame and extend outwardly from the interior region. The isolation barriers are configured to define an isolation zone surrounding the interior region that corresponds with the isolation area around an individual located within the interior region. An opening is providing for access by the individual to and from the interior region within the frame.
