Illness Precautions and Self-Isolation

If you feel sick with symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, fever, or headache, you should self-isolate at home and avoid contact with others. Even mild symptoms warrant isolation until you recover. If you must go out for essential needs like food, wear a mask to avoid infecting others. Seek prompt medical advice if you develop fever, cough, and difficulty breathing as this could be a respiratory infection. Call ahead and tell your medical provider about any recent travel or contact with travelers so they can direct you properly and prevent spread of viruses like COVID-19.
