What should I do if I believe I have COVID-19 or have been exposed to COVID-19?

If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, such as fever, cough or difficulty breathing, or have been in contact with anyone with a probable or confirmed case of COVID-19, it's important that you stay home, don't panic and pick up the phone and contact your healthcare provider or public health division.

It's important to stay home and self isolate while you seek medical advice rather than going to a healthcare facility, so that you don't risk spreading the virus to other people on public transit, or in waiting rooms, just in case you do have the virus.
