Sick with COVID? What To Do

You’re not alone. Most people recover from their initial infection. These recommendations will give you the best chance to recover and prevent others from being infected.

Testing

• If you received a positive result from either a PCR test or an at-home antigen test, you can trust the results. Even a faint line on an antigen test is reliable.

Isolate

• Begin isolating as quickly as possible and limit contact with others. This will help prevent the virus from spreading to others.
• If you isolate at home with others, use a separate room. Create green, yellow and red zones in your home (see Self Isolation).
• Avoid sharing air with others by opening windows^[1], or clean air using HEPA air purifier(s), keep doors closed, block air flow under doors, and insist that everyone wear high-quality masks when going into the “yellow” or “red” zones.
• While you are in a room by yourself, don’t wear a mask. Breathe fresh air or HEPA filtered air.
• Take care of yourself by consuming plenty of fluids, a healthy balanced diet, and get plenty of rest.
• Order groceries via delivery or contactless pickup.
• Remain in isolation for 14 days, or longer if you continue to experience symptoms or continue to test positive (see Isolation)…
