In addition to sharing tips on how to help protect yourself and others from COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides information on what to do if you are sick. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever and a cough. If you are sick with COVID-19 or think you might have COVID-19, do not leave your home except to get medical care. Do not visit public areas. Most people have mild illness and are able to recover at home. If you think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, contact your healthcare provider.

• Keep track of your symptoms.
• If you have an emergency warning sign (including trouble breathing), get emergency medical care immediately.

The CDC also offers a self-checker to help you make decisions and seek appropriate medical care.
