What To Do If You Test Positive?
Monitor your symptoms
Call 911 if you start to have emergency warning signs, including difficulty breathing; pressure or pain in your chest; bluish or grayish lips, face, or nails; confusion or difficulty waking; or other serious symptoms.
Isolate
You should isolate for at least 5 days counting from the day you began feeling sick (Day 0 is the day you began feeling sick; Day 1 is the next day). If you have no symptoms, then isolate for 5 full days after the day you tested positive (Day 0 is the day you took your positive test; Day 1 is the day after).
If you have to be around others indoors, you should wear a well-fitting mask through Day 10, especially when you are around those at higher risk for getting infected (like people living in your home) or at higher risk for getting very sick from COVID-19.
Take precautions and inform your contacts
Improve ventilation (air flow) at home, Wash your hands often, with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; Cover coughs and sneezes, Clean or disinfect “high touch" surfaces at least once daily.
Letting people you may have exposed to COVID-19 know that you have tested positive allows them to get tested, wear a mask to protect others, and seek treatment early if they become sick.
Covid Treatment FAQs
What are COVID-19 Treatments?
Medications that can stop COVID-19 illness from getting serious. They are free, widely available, and highly effective. Some can be taken at-home by pill and others are given by IV.
WHY should I take COVID-19 Treatment?
Scientific evidence shows that COVID-19 treatments work to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19 by up to 88%. For example, people who take Paxlovid are up to 8 times less likely to need hospitalization and 10 times less likely to die from COVID-19. Early evidence also suggests they may lower the risk of developing long COVID symptoms. Treatments like the Paxlovid pill can also prevent the virus from multiplying in your body and infecting more of your cells, which can help you test negative sooner.
When should I take a COVID-19 Treatment?
Treatments must be taken within 5-7 days of when symptoms begin. So if you start to feel sick, act fast to get a COVID-19 test and free treatment.
WHO should take COVID-19 Treatment?
COVID-19 treatments are recommended for anyone 12 years and older who has COVID-19
symptoms, has tested positive for COVID-19, and has certain experiences and conditions that put
them at higher risk for worse COVID-19 illness, such as being 50 years and older, being unvaccinated, obesity, physical inactivity, high blood pressure smoking, asthma, diabetes, mental health conditions like depression, and more.
In fact, most American adults are eligible and should take COVID-19 treatment.
