10 things you can do to manage your health at home
If you have possible or confirmed COVID-19:
1.
Stay home from work,
school, and away from other public places. If you must go out, avoid using any
kind of public transportation, ridesharing, or taxis.
2.
Monitor your symptoms
carefully. If your symptoms get worse, call your healthcare provider
immediately.
3.
Get rest and stay
hydrated.
4.
If you have a medical
appointment, call the healthcare provider ahead of time and tell them that you
have or may have COVID-19.
5.
For medical emergencies,
call 911 and notify the dispatch personnel that you have or may have COVID-19.
6.
Cover your cough and
sneezes.
7.
Wash your hands often
with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an
alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
8.
As much as possible,
stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home. Also, you
should use a separate bathroom, if available. If you need to be around other
people in or outside of the home, wear a facemask.
9.
Avoid sharing personal
items with other people in your household, like dishes, towels, and bedding
10. Clean all surfaces that are touched often, like
counters, tabletops, and doorknobs. Use household cleaning sprays or wipes
according to the label instructions.
For any additional questions about your care,
contact your healthcare provider or state or local health department.
