Isolation: See if you can stay in one room with door closed. If you can ventilate the room with fan and open windows that helps. Wear a mask. Stay at least 6 feet away from family members. Wash hands often. Cough into elbow. Have family member's leave your food right outside the door. You can talk through door or cellphone instead of face to face.

Minimal contact: Coronavirus is transmitted by respiratory droplets so no shared dishes/cups/utensils. Use separate bathroom if possible . Stay 6 feet apart . Wash hands frequently, wipe down handles & surfaces with alcohol or chlorine solution to kill virus. Wear mask when near others
