Coronavirus: First self-isolate. If you get symptoms and they worsen please go to a Doctor to find out what type of virus or infection you have and get the right kind of medication or call an ambulance to take you to the emergency room of your nearest hospital where you can get tested.

COVID 19: Just keep in mind that most COVID 19 is transmitted via droplets (vice surface contamination). There are no specific additional actions to take right now to prevent transmission. Do recommend frequently cleaning/ sanitizing all frequently touch surfaces. YOu can wear disposable gloves if particularly concerned.
