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. This will help the office protect themselves and other patients. • Be sure to get care if you have trouble breathing, or have any other emergency warning signs, or if you think it is an emergency. • Many medical visits are being done by phone or telemedicine.
