If any symptoms, get tested (RT- PCR) IMMEDIATELY along with ENTIRE family.
DON'T WAIT for 2-3 days.
Labs are already backed up !
Begin wearing masks & Social Distancing EVEN INSIDE Homes.
DON'T SELF MEDICATE.
The SOONER the treatment begins, the BETTER it shall be.

Rapid Antigen Test ( RAT) is a poor substitute for RTPCR.
Preferably, get #RTPCR Test done .
RAT has a high false negative rate.
Patients can be negative initially yet HAVE COVID. Accordingly more tests are advised.
NOTE :EARLY & CORRECT diagnosis is the key .

Now #HRCT ( images that show cross sections through the heart & lungs)is the gold standard.
Was used for my husband as even RT PCR came negative initially.
However , let the doctor decide that and correlate clinically. 😇🙏
If in doubt ,take a second opinion ASAP.

WEARING A MASK CORRECTLY ACTUALLY HELPS REDUCE INTENSITY IF NOT COMPLETELY PREVENT THE VIRUS.
I am a living example of that !!
So ensure you wear the RIGHT MASK and the RIGHT WAY at ALL TIMES.
N95 are good & reasonably priced. Buy 3 and rotate. Will last atleast a month

DO NOT TOUCH mask once you wear it. Remove only once you are in a safe bubble. Loose elastics in masks are the villains.
We keep adjusting & end up touching the mask externally & thereafter fail to wash hands properly.
Double check mask in restrooms.

WASHING HANDS PROPERLY with ANY Soap ( Extensively & For 20- 30 seconds ) is the key !
Hand Sanitizers are substitute WHEN soap & water is unavailable.
Surfaces ( fomites) are LEAST CONTRIBUTING in the spread.
Touching lift button / grocery bags WILL NOT cause Covid .

Traditional Steam Inhalation helps* .
Do it twice a day .
Open your throat fully while inhaling the steam and take deep in- breaths.
That will take it into the lungs.
* (Again, differs from person to person but no harm in doing it.)
The traditional way 👇

AFTER consulting your family physician
One may begin having doses* of
#Zinc
#VitaminC
#VitaminD
*Not a substitute for Healthy food , Quality sleep or good Immunity but many argue it helps. Factual data is available online that proves likewise.

BUY PULSE #OXYMETER .
If home quarantined , monitor #OXYGENSATURATION (SpO2 ) levels & TEMPERATURE on hourly basis .
Many with Covid have low levels of oxygen in their blood .
Anything below 95% is not good. Requires MEDICAL ATTENTION
👇 Check it this way .
