A stethoscope cover incorporated into an isolation garment which cover operably retains the stethoscope listening device and at least a portion of the stethoscope sound tube so that a doctor or nurse can put on an isolation garment and use their preferred stethoscope to examine a patient because the portions of the stethoscope which come in contact with a patient or are near the patient are protected from coming directly in contact with the patient by the stethoscope cover. Preferred embodiments include having the opening of the stethoscope cover attached at the neck opening of the isolation garment or attached at a location below the neck opening.
