Based on the assessment, you may be eligible for an oral antiviral medication.
Take preventive measures.
To avoid being exposed to the virus and to prevent illness, the CDC recommends the following:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom and before eating; after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.
- If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
The CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a face mask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID19.
Face masks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others.
The use of face masks is critical for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
If you're living with or in close proximity to a person with COVID19, the CDC recommends closely monitoring your health;
you should call your primary care provider right away if you develop symptoms that is suggestive of COVID19 (e.g., fever, cough, shortness of breath).
