Seek immediate medical attention if you have severe symptoms. Always contact a doctor or health facility before heading to it.
People with mild symptoms should treat their symptoms at home, even if they are otherwise healthy.
It takes an average of 5-6 days for symptoms to appear since a person becomes infected with the virus, but it can take up to 14 days for symptoms to appear.
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19:
Wash your hands often. Use soap and water or an alcohol solution to sterilize your hands.
Keep a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Wear a muzzle when physical distancing is not possible.
Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Make sure to cover your nose and mouth with your elbow or tissue when coughing or sneezing.
Stay home if you feel sick.
Seek medical attention if you have a fever, cough, and trouble breathing.
You should contact your health care provider before you go to him so he can quickly direct you to the appropriate care facility. This helps protect you and prevent the spread of viruses and other diseases.

Masks can help prevent transmission of the virus from the person wearing the muzzle to others. However, masks alone do not protect against infection with Covid-19, but must also adhere to physical distancing and hand hygiene. Follow the directions provided by your local health authorities
