To find out the symptoms that indicate the need for testing refer to the Criteria for Testing for COVID-19.
If you are experiencing fever, coughing, and shortness of breath please do the following:
- Stay home and limit your exposure to others.
- 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; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask (CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask, but facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of coronavirus to help prevent the spread of the disease to others.)
