What should I do if I think I have coronavirus (COVID-19)
If you think you may have coronavirus (COVID-19) and your symptoms are mild, you can stay home, rest, stay hydrated, and let your body heal itself. If you get worse, develop shortness of breath, or you’re concerned about your symptoms, call your doctor first before going in and ask if there are any special instructions before going in.
Take extra care not to spread it to others. Separate yourself from others in the home and wear a mask if you cannot. You’ll also want to limit contact with pets. There have been a few incidents of pets becoming sick with COVID-19, so to be on the safe side it’s best to avoid contact until we know more. If there is no one else available to care for your pet, be sure to wash your hands before and after any contact. If there are others in your home, it’s best to isolate yourself to one room and have others avoid that room as much as possible until you’ve fully recovered. If you cannot isolate, remember to wear a face mask and avoid physical contact.
