Steps to help prevent COVID-19
What to do if you are sick with COVID-19
How to prevent COVID-19
Stay home except for medical care, most people with COVID-19 have a mild illness and can recover at home without medical care. Do not leave your home except to receive medical attention. Do not visit public areas. Rest and stay hydrated. Take over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen, to help you feel better.
Stay in touch with your doctor. Call before getting medical attention. Make sure you get care if you have trouble breathing or if you have any other emergency warning signs. Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces in your “sick room” and bathroom; wear disposable gloves. Let someone else clean and disinfect surfaces in common areas, but you should clean your bedroom and bathroom, if possible.
If you are sick, wear a mask over your nose and mouth, you should wear a mask over your nose and mouth if you must be around other people or animals, including pets (even at home).
You don't need to wear the mask if you are alone. If you can’t put on a mask (because of trouble breathing, for example), cover your coughs and sneezes in some other way. Try to stay at least 6 feet away from other people. This will help protect the people around you.
Masks should not be placed on young children under age 2 years, anyone who has trouble breathing, or anyone who is not able to remove the mask without help.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. This is especially important after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; going to the bathroom; and before eating or preparing food.
Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry.
Soap and water are the best option, especially if hands are visibly dirty.
