As always, the first step is to confirm whether you really have COVID-19. If your test is positive, stay at home and inform your contacts with whom you have been or communicated during those days
Cases of COVID-19 are on the rise again in the US, and data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that hospital admissions are linked to the virus and that positive test rates are on the rise, TIME writes.
The virus has ebbed and flowed several times since 2020 – but this time is unique, as it is the first noticeable increase in spread since the public health emergency of COVID-19 officially ended in May, ending the pandemic era.
While most of the advice about COVID-19 remains the same, here's what you should do if you think or know you have COVID-19.
Test yourself
As always, the first step is to confirm whether you really have COVID-19. If your test is positive, stay at home and inform your contacts with whom you have been or communicated during those days.
Isolation
Although the pandemic is over, medical guidelines still say that anyone with COVID-19 should isolate themselves from others — including people in their households — for at least five full days. Your first full day of isolation is considered to be the day after you start feeling sick or, if you are asymptomatic, the day after you are tested.
Wearing masks and medical assistance
Once those five days of isolation are up, it is recommended to wear a high-quality mask, such as an N95 or KN95, whenever you must be around people for an additional five days, as you may still be contagious. It's OK to remove the mask early if you test negative on two separate home tests within 48 hours of each other. While you are sick, drink plenty of fluids and use antipyretics if necessary. If you start experiencing serious symptoms, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, seek medical attention immediately.
