Bacterial Meningitis (which can include Niessieria Meningitidis)....droplet precautions till 24 hours after antibiotic treatment has been started. Viral meningitis... usually you have to follow standard precautions like strict handwashing....etc

Bacterial infections cannot be cohorted with patients that have viruses. They are different problems for the patient and they could be given to the other.

You can only co-hort same bacteria and preferably in the same location.
