What if I get sick?

​

If you are sick with COVID-19 or think you might have the virus that causes COVID-19, follow the steps below to help prevent the disease from spreading to people in your home and your community. The most common signs of COVID-19 are fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and are having these symptoms, consider calling your doctor or another healthcare provider for medical advice. Your doctor will decide if you need to be tested or seen in person. Keep in mind that there is no treatment for COVID-19. People who are mildly ill may not need to be tested and should isolate (keep away from other people) and care for themselves at home.

​

• Stay home, except to get medical care, get rest and drink plenty of fluids.

• Separate yourself from other people and animals in your home.

• Call ahead before visiting a doctor and monitor your symptoms.

• Wear a facemask when around other people or pets.

• Cover your coughs and sneezes and clean your hands often. Avoid sharing personal items.

• Clean all frequently touched surfaces daily.
