Coronavirus-19, also known as COVID-19, should be taken seriously, but in many cases you can care for yourself at home, without visiting a medical facility.
This tool was developed using the latest recommendations from the CDC, which will help you determine what to do if you think you might have symptoms of Coronavirus-19 or may have been exposed.
Do you have severe symptoms, such as feeling very ill, dehydrated, noticeably short of breath, chest pain, light-headedness or any other worrisome symptoms for which you would typically seek immediate medical attention at an urgent care or emergency room?
Monitor for symptoms of cough, fever or shortness of breath at home. If you must go into public places, wear a mask if you have one and remain at least 6 feet away from others to protect the infection from spreading.
If you develop symptoms, call your primary care doctor or local public health department to discuss options for being evaluated for COVID-19. It is important to call first before seeking care because there may be special instructions for you to follow before coming in for evaluation.
