Meningitis.. what is your policy?

OK, here is my question. We recently had a pt on L&D very sick with a suspected case of meningitis (just as good as confirmed cases if you ask me!) Anyway, we had her in a reverse airflow room. I went in to assist the nurse and docs with the D&C (17wk FD) , and I was the only one wearing a mask. Was this inappropriate of me? Why was no one else wearing a mask, and why were we not using droplet precautions? We were so busy that I did not have a chance to ask our charge nurse what was up. What does your hospital do with this situation? SG
