Overview
Testing positive for COVID-19 can be worrying, but most people can recover at home. It's important to take steps to protect yourself and those around you.
Isolation
Isolate immediately to prevent spreading the virus. Stay in a separate room, use a separate bathroom if possible, and wear a mask if you need to be around others.
Symptom Management
Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take over-the-counter medications for fever and pain.
Treatment
If you are high-risk, contact your doctor about antiviral medications like Paxlovid.
When to See a Doctor
Seek emergency care if you have difficulty breathing, chest pain, or confusion.
