The symptoms are similar to the Flu, but sudden worsening may occur. Wear a mask to protect your family and self isolate as much as possible. The viral load and symptoms may improve at day 7, but some patients experience prolonged symptoms. Watch for signs of shortness of breath,rest and stay well hydrated.
