2. Monitor for symptoms and take your temperature twice daily. If you develop symptoms or a fever, then call your healthcare provider immediately.

3. Get rest, stay hydrated, and exercise if possible. If you are able to exercise, do so in your home or yard. Avoid locations where you may come into contact with others.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

7. As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people and pets in your home. Use a separate bathroom, if available.
