What to Do if You Test Positive for COVID

What to do if you test positive for COVID

Please call your doctor, not the ECDOH, with questions about your own health and for advice on managing symptoms. If you are having trouble breathing or are experiencing severe symptoms, call 9-1-1 immediately. 

Stay home and isolate away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you have respiratory virus symptoms to prevent spreading the virus to others.

COVID Treatment

COVID-19 treatments help prevent severe disease. COVID-19 treatments work best when you receive them as soon as possible after becoming sick, so it's important to get tested and talk to your doctor right away to find the treatment that is best for you. All treatments require a prescription.
