Let’s get your plan in order

As soon as you know that you or a loved one are at higher risk of becoming very sick from COVID-19 talk to your healthcare professional about steps you can take in case of an infection. An action plan is key if you test positive or are feeling COVID-19 symptoms. When you're prepared you can act fast.

You know your health situation best and that will inform you how to make a personalized list of to-dos. If you test positive or are feeling COVID-19 symptoms, your plan will remind you of the steps to take right away. Some starters suggestions are listed below that you might find helpful.

Know how to get in touch with people you've been in contact with, who may have been exposed to the virus (SARS-CoV-2).
Familiarize yourselves with CDC guidelines for isolation and know where you would stay. If needed ahead of time.
Make sure you have enough masks on hand.
Also have enough at-home COVID-19 test kits and know how to get more.
Set a plan with loved ones so everyone knows what steps to take if anyone tests positive.
Keep an up-to-date list of any medications you take, including vitamins and supplements, and be ready to share with your healthcare professional.
Know how to quickly reach your healthcare professional if you're feeling COVID-19 symptoms, or if you test positive, and ask whether our prescription treatment option might be right for you.
Find the close and convenient location to get any necessary prescriptions, if appropriate.
Have someone you can turn to who can pick up items you may need during the quarantine

And lastly, encourage loved ones to make their own COVID-19 plan because nothing is more important than your family's health.
