What to do if you feel ill or you test positive for COVID-19
If You are Sick or Think You Might Have COVID-1 9 • Stay home. Most people with COVID-19 have mild illness and can recover at home without medical care. Do not leave your home, except to get medical care. Do not visit public areas. • Take care of yourself. Get rest and stay hydrated. Take over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen, to help you feel better. • Avoid public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis.
If You are Sick or Think You Might Have COVID-1 9 SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM OTHER PEOPLE • As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people and pets in your home. If possible, you should use a separate bathroom. If you need to be around other people or animals in or outside of the home, wear a mask. • Additional guidance is available for those in close quarters and shared housing at cdc.gov.
If You are Sick or Think You Might Have COVID-1 9 • Call ahead before visiting your doctor and tell them you have or may have COVID-19.
