How far apart should I keep my tortoises?

[MrFlyingOwls]

I’m adopting a 3 and a half year old Hermann which I’m super excited about.
I already have a two year old Russian they’re not being housed together or anything like that and I’ve bought all new things and labelled them and put them in separate containers.
I was just wondering if there were recommendations on how far apart their enclosures need to be? I’ve read a lot about pathogens and cross contamination and I just want to know I’m doing the right thing. I have the space to have them completely separate but I was hoping they would at least have the indoor enclosures in the same room?

Sorry for the long post

The exotics vet I worked with in college recommend a minimum 6 foot air gap between enclosures.
