Home care for people with suspected or confirmed COVID-19

Home care for people with suspected or confirmed COVID-19:

– If you are ill with fever and cough you should clean hands frequently with soap and water or with alcohol-based hand rub.

– Stay at home; do not attend work, school or public places. Rest, drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious food.

– Stay in separate room from other family members, but if not possible wear a medical mask and keep a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from other people. Keep the room well-ventilated and if possible, use a dedicated bathroom.

– When coughing or sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or use disposable tissue and discard after use. If you experience difficulty breathing, call  your health care facility immediately
