People who think they might have COVID-19 can consider the following tips:
- staying home unless seeking medical care
- tracking symptoms and keeping in contact with healthcare providers
- avoiding public places, such as grocery stores and public transport
- wearing a face mask or cloth covering over the nose and mouth when around other people
- self-isolating from other members of the household until symptoms resolve
- washing hands and using hand sanitizer often
People can also consider the following at-home treatments for any COVID-19 symptoms they develop:
- drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated
- taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) for body aches, headache, and fever
- trying cough syrup or throat lozenges for persistent coughing
- drinking warm liquids, such as tea or soup, to relieve a sore throat
Summary
People can prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by practicing protective measures, such as physical distancing in public spaces and self-quarantine when sick. Limiting or avoiding contact with people who have a suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection can also help reduce the risk of getting sick.
Those who show mild to moderate symptoms may be able to use self-care at home. Severe symptoms may require intensive medical intervention and hospitalization.
