How to Isolate

​If you tested positive or have symptoms of COVID-19, you must isolate.

STAY HOME

​Until at least 10 days after your symptoms first appeared...
AND you have been fever-free for 1 full day (without fever-reducing medicine)...
AND all your other symptoms are better.

NO SHARING

​Do not share towels, silverware, cups, bowls, or plates with anyone else in your home.

WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN

​With soap and water, for 20 seconds each time you wash them.

WEAR A MASK

Over your mouth and nose.
Even at home if you live with other people.

NO VISITORS

STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE YOU LIVE WITH

Stay in a separate part of your home as much as possible.
Use a different bathroom if you can.

CLEAN ALL "HIGH TOUCH" SURFACES EVERY DAY

​Clean things you and your family touch a lot.
Examples include: counters, tabletops, doorknobs, sink faucet handles, toilets handles, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables.

COVER YOUR COUGHS & SNEEZES

​Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Throw used tissues in a lined trash can; immediately wash your hands.

LIMIT CONTACT WITH PETS

​Just to be safe experts recommend that people who are isolating avoid touching their pets until we know more how coronavirus spreads.
