       • identify the steps for proper handwashing,
       • recognize how to protect others in the Blinn community from the

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.
