COVID-19 Advice & Resources

If you suspect you are sick with COVID-19, follow the steps below to help prevent the disease from spreading to people in your home and community.

Symptoms of COVID-19

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath

Prevent The Spread

Cover your cough and sneezes: Cover mouth and nose with tissue when coughing or sneezing, wash hands.
Avoid sharing personal household items: Do not share dishes, drinking glasses, towels, or bedding with other people.
Washing your hands often: Wash with soap and water for 20 seconds.
Clean all “highly touched” surfaces daily

What To Do If You Are Sick

Stay home except to get medical care: Restrict activities outside of your home (home isolation). Do not go to work, school, or public areas.
Separate yourself from other people and animals in your home: As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from pets and others in your home.
Monitor your symptoms: Seek medical attention if your illness is worsening (e.g. difficulty breathing).
Call ahead before visiting your doctor: If you have a medical appointment, call first and tell them you may have COVID-19.
Wear a facemask: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people of before you enter a healthcare providers office.
Discontinue home isolation 72 hours after fever is gone and symptoms get better

Consulting A Medical Professional

  1. Call 911 if life-threatening emergency.
  2. Consult your primary care doctor.
  3. E-visits: MultiCare Virtual Care (see link below) Use code “COVID19” for free e-visit.
