WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE SICK
 
If you’re experiencing COVID symptoms, get tested  as soon as possible and, if you test positive, call your health care provider:

• Stay home, except to get medical care.
• Stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home. If possible, use a separate bathroom. If you must be around others, wear a mask.
• Get plenty of rest and stay well hydrated.
• Take over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), to reduce symptoms. For acetaminophen, the total daily dose from all products should not exceed 3,000 mg.
• Rest in the prone position (flat on your stomach) for easier breathing.
• Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, if you can comfortably tolerate it.

Monitor your symptoms, and call your healthcare provider if symptoms get worse.
