COVID Quick Guide
We are deeply appreciative of the work of physicians, nurses, hospitals, and other first responders during the coronavirus pandemic for patients who are needing hospital care.
But what do you do if you are at home and you want to do whatever you can to prevent illness, or help yourself get stronger and healthier if you are not feeling well?
In the event that you are seeking some at-home care for yourself or a loved one so that you hopefully will never need to go to the hospital, here are some ideas for specific things you can start doing today to feel empowered to:
-
Help your body be strong and resilient to help prevent COVID-19, and
-
Help your body recover if you may have COVID-19, you are not ill enough to require hospital care, and you want some guidelines as to what to do at home to help your lungs and your body heal.
