Therefore, it is important to act in a responsible manner, according to the recommendations for confirmed COVID cases.
Stay at home: it is recommended to stay at home within 5 days from the date of the positive test, or until the symptoms disappear (Fever of 38 degrees Celsius or higher, coughing, and difficulty breathing).
Wear a mask: when leaving the house at necessary cases (for example, to receive medical treatment), it is recommended to wear a mask during the entire stay outside the house.
