Self-isolate: If you have Covid, you need to self-isolate. Quarantine yourself. Drink lots of fluids, esp electrolyte solutions, rest, Take Acetaminophen for fever/pain and eat a bland diet (Bananas/Rice/Apples/Toast). See a Dr for worsening difficulty breathing, blue lips/face, confusion/lethargy, and persistent chest pain. Testing may be necessary to return to work, but otherwise does not change treatment.

Agree with Dr. K: Need to emphasize that in case you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital promptly. Stay hydrated and take paracetamol for fever and pain. Wish you good health!
