  • Stay home as much as possible, especially when feeling sick

If I have Symptoms, What Should I Do?
  • The symptoms that are currently being seen with COVID-19 are fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath.
  • Stay home until you are free of fever, signs of a fever, and any other symptoms for at least 24 hours and without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medications.
