How Should I Care For Myself With COVID19?

Do take proper rests on a regular basis?

Did you drink at least 8 glasses of water or other such drinks daily?

Do you avoid close contact with other people or animals?

Do you wash your hands often on a regular basis?

Did you disinfect all the surfaces in your house regularly?

Sleep and rest as much as possible. Feeling weak and tired for a while is normal, but your energy will return over time.

Drink plenty of water and other caffeine-free fluids to keep your urine light yellow or clear. If you have kidney, heart or liver disease and have to limit fluids, ask your physician before increasing the amount of fluids you’re consuming to keep you hydrated.

Avoid contact with people and pets in your home as much as possible. Maintain at least six-feet social distancing and wear a face mask when around others. Don’t sleep or spend time in the same room with others. Use a different bathroom, if possible.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Be sure to wash your hands after blowing your nose, sneezing or coughing; after using the bathroom; and before eating or preparing food.

Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces in your household every day, including door knobs, tables, countertops, light switches, keyboards, phones, remotes, touch screens, toilets, faucets and sinks. This will help stop re-contamination and keep others safe.

If you show any of these emergency warning signs, such as having trouble breathing, pain/pressure in the chest or bluish lips or face, seek medical help immediately.
