If You Are Experiencing Symptoms of Coronavirus / COVID-19
- Monitor your symptoms carefully. Some common symptoms include dry cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. Cough and sneeze into your elbow or cover your mouth and nose with a tissue that you immediately throw away.
- Try to get rest and stay hydrated.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Clean all surfaces that are touched often, like phones, computers, tablets, counters, tabletops, and doorknobs. Use household cleaning sprays or wipes according to the label instruction to make sure they are getting disinfected.
- If your symptoms get worse, call your healthcare provider immediately. If you have a medical appointment, call the healthcare provider ahead of time and tell them that you have or may have COVID-19.
- If you have trouble breathing, call 911. Notify the dispatch personnel that you have or may have coronavirus / COVID-19.
- As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home. Use a separate bathroom, if available, and avoid sharing personal items, like dishes, towels, and bedding. If you need to be around other people in or outside of the house, wear a facemask.
