What shall we do if we feel unwell during this time of pandemic?

If we begin to feel unwell, even with mild symptoms such as headache, runny nose, we should stay at home until we recover. Why? Because this will reduce the compression of local health facilities which will make them work more effectively. At the same time, avoiding contact with others will help protect ourselves from infection and spreading of viruses.

If we get develop fever, cough and short breathing, we should seek medical care immediately as this may due to respiratory infection or other severe condition. In this case, we should call in advance and tell our health care provider of any recent travel and contact with travelers. This is because calling in advance will allow our health care provider direct us to the right health facility quickly. This will also help prevent possible spread of virus.
