Steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 if you are sick
If you are sick with COVID-19 or think you might have COVID-19, follow the steps below to care for yourself and to help protect other people in your home and community.
As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people and pets in your home. If possible, you should use a separate bathroom. If you need to be around other people or animals in or outside of the home, wear a mask.
Tell your close contacts that they may have been exposed to COVID-19. An infected person can spread COVID-19 starting 48 hours (or 2 days) before the person has any symptoms or tests positive. By letting your close contacts know they may have been exposed to COVID-19, you are helping to protect everyone.
Look for emergency warning signs* for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:

Call 911 or call ahead to your local emergency facility: Notify the operator that you are seeking care for someone who has or may have COVID-19.

Deciding when you can be around others is different for different situations. Find out when you can safely end home isolation.

What To Do If You Tested Positive For COVID
If you tested positive for COVID-19, follow these guidelines to help prevent further spread of the virus:
Stay home except to get medical care
Separate yourself from others (even in your own home)
Monitor your symptoms
Follow general cleaning guidance
Seek outpatient therapies that prevent serious illness/death if you are a high-risk patient, including:
If you think you may meet one of these criteria for being a high-risk patient, please contact your healthcare provider’s office for more information and a possible referral to a COVID-19 outpatient infusion center near you. If you received antibody therapy for COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccination should be deferred for at least 90 days to avoid interference of the treatment with vaccine-induced immune responses. If you have any additional questions, concerns, and/or need further assistance gaining access to these therapies, please call the NDDoH COVID hotline at 1-866-207-2880.
REMEMBER: some of these medications have the best effect if given shortly after your diagnosis, before you have symptoms and/or require hospitalization, therefore please make this call immediately after receiving your positive test result.
