Good day i am a teacher & have just been advised that one of my learners who was at school up until yesterday has tested positive for covid. should i be teated?

Treated ?: This is a local issue. In most settings kids have not been the super spreaders we once feared so transfer is not automatic. Many docs advise those at risk to take vitamin 3 @1000mg/d, D @ 5000 iu/d &zinc @ 50mg/d to reduce vulnerability. You will need to consult a local doc in your country to see their regional approach to this disease.

Tested: You may need to test based on local and institutional regulations. Best to advise further would be your GP that can also follow on results and offer treatment as needed.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
