Why Should I Get Ready for Coronavirus (COVID-19) Now?

People are being asked to stay home to help limit the number of people getting sick from coronavirus COVID-19. People who get the virus will need to stay away from others until their doctor says they are better.

As more people become sick and stores and businesses close, it may take longer to find supplies that you'll need. Getting ready is something you can control during this uncertain time.

How Can I Get Ready for Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

Preparing for coronavirus (COVID-19) means having what you need to stay home. Officials are asking people to only go out when absolutely needed so they don't get sick. Keeping your household supplied will prevent you from running out of essentials.

If you need to go to stores to get essential items, try to go during off hours when they might not be as crowded. Wash your hands before and after going out. Use online shopping with delivery or pick-up where available to limit the time you are in stores. Experts say to wipe down delivery boxes or open them outside if possible, and then wash your hands.

What Should I Get to Be Ready for Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

Food and water. Choose food that doesn't need to be in the refrigerator and can stay good on the shelf for a long time. Buy canned foods and juices, rice, dried beans, granola bars, peanut butter, and dry cereal. Remember baby foods if needed. If you have pets, stock up on what they need too.

Foods your family likes when sick. These include things like soup, crackers, and fluids to stay hydrated.

Household supplies. Don't forget toilet paper, shampoo, toothpaste, hand soap, and dish soap.

Medicines. Make sure prescriptions are filled and on hand. Get over-the-counter (nonprescription) fever reducers. Your doctor will advise you on how to use them.

A thermometer. Depending on your child's age, you might need a digitalthermometer, temporal artery thermometer, or electronic ear (tympanic) thermometer.

You do not need to stock up on face masks. Experts say they're not needed to stay healthy. They are needed by sick patients and the health workers caring for them.

What Else Should I Know?

Now that most schools and childcare centers are closed, make plans to keep kids busy at home. Talk to your employer to make arrangements to work from home. Work with family members or neighbors on childcare plans. Planning in advance and working together in our communities can help cut down stress.

As some communities begin to reopen during the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, public health officials say the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.

Below are some steps from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help protect yourself and others. Stay informed about what's happening in your community, and always follow the directions of state and local authorities.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.

If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus.

Stay home as much as possible and avoid non-essential travel.

Practice social distancing by keeping at least 6 feet - about two arm lengths - away from others if you must go out in public.

Stay connected with loved ones through video and phone calls, texts and social media.

Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others and when you must go out in public, such as to a grocery store. The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.

However, do NOT place cloth face coverings on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

In addition, do NOT use a facemask meant for a health care worker.

Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.

See CDC guidelines, including how to create your own cloth face cover.

Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth, and throw used tissues in a lined trash can. If a tissue isn't available, cough or sneeze into your elbow - not your hands. Wash your hands immediately.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets and sinks. Follow CDC guidance.

According to the CDC, early information shows that older adults, people who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility, and individuals of any age with the conditions below are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19:

Have serious underlying medical conditions, particularly if not well controlled, such as heart, lung or liver disease; diabetes; moderate to severe asthma; severe obesity; and chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis.

Have a weakened immune system, including those undergoing cancer treatment, smoking and having other immunocompromised conditions.

If you are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19, it is critical for you to:

Stay home if possible and follow the other steps above. Avoid all cruise travel and non-essential air travel.

Call your health care provider if you have concerns or to ask about obtaining extra necessary medications in case you need to stay home for a prolonged period of time.

Call a medical professional as soon as COVID-19 symptoms start, if you are at higher risk.

See CDC guidance for more information for those at higher risk.

COVID-19 symptoms include fever, coughing and shortness of breath, plus additional ones listed on the CDC website. Keep track of your symptoms, which may appear two to 14 days after exposure, and call to seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen, such as difficulty breathing.

If you think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, contact your health care provider immediately.

Mild Illness
Most people have mild illness and are able to recover at home. If you think you are sick:

Stay home and call your doctor for medical advice and before visiting a medical office. Older adults and people of any age with serious underlying medical conditions should call a health care provider as soon as symptoms start.

Separate yourself from other people in your home.

Avoid sharing personal household items, such as dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels or bedding. Wash items thoroughly after using them with soap and hot water.

On your own, clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces daily in your sick room and designated bathroom. Have a healthy household member do the same for surfaces in other parts of the home. If you are sharing a bathroom, clean and disinfect it after each use.

Wear a cloth face cover if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a health care provider's office. See CDC guidelines.

Emergency Warning Signs
If your symptoms become severe, call to get medical attention immediately. Warning signs include:

Trouble breathing

Persistent pain or pressure in the chest

New confusion

Inability to wake or stay awake

Bluish lips or face

This list is not all inclusive. Consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning. Call 911 if you have a medical emergency and note if you have, or think you might have, COVID-19.

Review CDC guidance for more information if you are sick, including what to do if you live in close quarters, shared housing or have pets.

Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread from person-to-person through respiratory droplets. Currently there is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with food. Before preparing or eating food, it is important to always wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds for general food safety. Throughout the day, wash your hands after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing, or going to the bathroom.

It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from food products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient, refrigerated, or frozen temperatures.

You should always handle and prepare food safely, including keeping raw meat separate from other foods, refrigerating perishable foods, and cooking meat to the right temperature to kill harmful germs. See CDC's Food Safety site for more information.
