What to Do If You're Sick

  • Don't call 911 unless you are having a life-threatening emergency such as as trouble breathing, heart attacks, stroke, and other problems where your life is in immediate danger.
  • Call your doctor or medical professional who will advise you what to do. Most people with mild cases of COVID-19 will be told to isolate at home and ride out the symptoms.
  • Do not go out if you are sick, even if you are not sure they are COVID-19 symptoms.
  • While rare, there are breakthrough COVID cases among those vaccinated. And, vaccinated individuals can spread the Delta variant, even those they may share no symptoms.
