REQUIREMENTS ON PERSON'S ROOM:

MEASURES TO AVOID CONFIDENTIALITY TO HOUSEHOLDS:

- Notify the person you have been in contact with during the time you suspect you have Covid-19 (you can infect others from 48 hours after you come into contact with the source of infection).

- People infected with F0 should take care of themselves, for example: do their laundry in the room first (if possible).

- Only 01 person with the least risk (young, no underlying disease) takes care of F0 when needed.

- Housemates must wear protective gear when collecting items. Prepare a separate table for pick up/delivery cleaned with alcohol ≥ 60 degrees or regular detergent.

- Sorting waste with a high risk of infection.

- Clean all everyday objects in the house (tables and chairs, doorknobs, sinks, toilets) with alcohol ≥60 degrees or regular detergent.

- Avoid contact with pets, do not share personal items

- The person with F0 avoids leaving the room. No guest, please.

GOOD TREATMENT OF EXISTING BACKGROUND DISEASES

- Background diseases are existing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, depression, epilepsy, hepatitis B, C.

- COVID-19 is prone to severe disease and complications in people with underlying medical conditions, so it is essential to control the underlying disease to reduce the risk of COVID-19 and serious complications.

- People infected with Covid-19 if they have a stable medical condition and need to continue treatment. If they cannot return to the doctor or contact a doctor, they can continue to use the prescription they are using stably.

- If the underlying disease becomes unstable: such as fluctuating blood pressure, higher than safe blood sugar levels, etc., it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately.

MEDICATIONS TO REDUCE COVID-19 SYMPTOMS THAT CAN USE AT HOME:

When having symptoms, it is necessary to notify the medical staff who are monitoring immediately. Medications to treat Covid-19 symptoms  at home:

- Use antipyretic and pain relievers containing acetaminophens such as Panadol, Efferalgan, Tylenol, Hapacol for high fever or severe pain. The allowable acetaminophen dose is 10-15 mg/kg/time, should not be used more than four times or 3g /24 hours, two doses at least 4 hours apart.

- Orel rehydrate if there is diarrhea

- Phosphalugel, omeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole... if you have stomach pain

- Vitamin D 1000UI/day or sun exposure for 10-15 minutes/day drink milk, eat eggs, mushrooms

- Cough medicine such as bromhexine, acetylcysteine, herbs

- Folk remedies for flu, sore throat, and other measures that have a supporting role such as Sauna (note only when you have a fever, body aches, but you can't sweat. You should only steam your nose. Do not steam too much, it will make the body dehydrated). Gargle with salt water (only effective in cleaning the upper respiratory tract, cannot help kill the virus as rumored).

Note: DO NOT ALWAYS TREAT BY RUNNING AS Corticosteroids, anticoagulants, aerosol sprays, antibiotics,...
