COVID-19: What to do if you or someone in your home is sick
Stay at home when you’re sick
Stay home and limit your contact with others when you’re sick or experiencing any COVID-like symptoms, even if mild. This will help prevent others in your community from getting sick.
Isolation
Isolation is used to prevent the spread from people who are sick (with or without symptoms) to others.
It’s important that you continue to follow the advice of your local public health authority regarding isolation, including:
- the recommended length of time
- public health measures you should continue using in the days after isolating, such as:
- staying home if you’re still experiencing symptoms
- wearing a well-fitting respirator (like an N95 or KN95) or mask in public indoor settings
- avoiding group living settings or those where people at risk of more severe disease or outcomes live
