If you have any symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, call your health care provider or COVID-19 hotline for instructions and find out when and where to get a test, stay at home for 14 days away from others and monitor your health.
If you have shortness of breath or pain or pressure in the chest, seek medical attention at a health facility immediately. Call your health care provider or hotline in advance for directions to the right health facility.
If you live in an area with malaria or dengue fever, seek medical care if you have a fever.
If local guidance recommends visiting a medical center for testing, assessment, or isolation, wear a medical mask while traveling to and from the facility and during medical care. Also, keep at least a 1-meter distance from other people and avoid touching surfaces with your hands. This applies to adults and children.
