COVID-19: What To Do If You Feel Sick

Posted Date - 3/17/20
If you are sick, stay home and contact your healthcare provider for advice and guidance.


Practice good hygiene.
  • Avoid contact with others.
  • Do not travel while sick.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing, and immediately dispose of the tissue.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Clean your hands by washing them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol immediately after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose. Soap and water should be used if hands are visibly dirty.

Monitor your symptoms closely. Take your temperature daily.

Stay home from school and work until at least 72 hours after your fever ends, without the use of fever-reducing medications. If you must go out of the house or be around others, wear a mask and avoid close contact. Be especially careful around people who have compromised immune systems, underlying health conditions and/or are age 60 and older.


Take care of yourself. Rest as much as possible. Drink lots of fluids.

Take caution if you have traveled to areas known to have higher rates of infection! See more information at the CDC website: Coronavirus Disease 2019 Information for Travel
