Quarantine, social distancing, lockdown,
isolation the novel coronavirus has introduced
us to a whole new world. All of us are subjected
to new safety guidelines and ways of living. Many
of us are under restrictions entirely unfamiliar
to us and changing so rapidly that it's hard to
cope up with the new normal even today. However,
scary this world might look. You still need to
survive and take care of your near ones such that
they don't get infected by this disease. If you
have cough, cold, breathlessness, or fever, how
can you tell if you've got COVID-19 or ordinary
flu? In both cases, you need to go to your doctor
and seek immediate medical care. If you have been
diagnosed corona positive, your doctor might ask
you to undergo a 14-day self-quarantine or ask
you to seek medical help in severe cases. In this
blog, we will be giving you some self-assessment
tips to prevent yourself from adverse situations.
We have also compiled some general advice and

• Cases when you shouldnt Home Quarantine
• 1. Know when to seek medical care
• During the COVID-19 outbreak, you need to seek
  immediate medical care to lower the risk of
  COVID-19 spread. It would be best to call ahead
  before visiting a medical facility, hospitals,
  clinics and even doctors offices as they have
  special protocols in place in the wake of the
  novel coronavirus.
• Severe symptoms suggest the need for medical
  attention. We would advise you to call an expert,
  telemedicine, or your primary doctor if you
  experience the following
• Experience flu-like symptoms and feel dehydrated
  even though you are drinking plenty of fluids.
• Experience COVID-19 like symptoms such as cough
  and fever. People over the age of 60 suffer from
  chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease,
  hypertension, or lung disease.
• Witness COVID-19 symptoms or were in direct
  contact with an infected person.

2. Unable to incorporate self-care Viral
infections, like COVID-19, leads to dehydration.
Even your doctor will ask you to drink plenty of
water and rely on soups that contain salt, along
with plain water, juice or tea. It's crucial to
get yourself dehydrated so that your urine is its
normal pale colour and you continue to flush out
all the toxins. You need to remember that not
urinating means you need medical attention. In
case of any special dietary restrictions due to
pre-existing illnesses like kidney diseases,
heart failures, and other conditions, make sure
you get medical advice from your doctor about
fluids you should take.

3. When Over-the-Counter Medications doesnt
work People suffering from cold or flu can rely
on over-the-counter medications for some relief.
It's obvious to have some side effects like dry
mouth, increased blood pressure and
drowsiness. Flush out your nose and sinuses using
saline solution. We believe fever reducers and
pain medications like Tylenol (Acetaminophen) can
be helpful and even natural ingredients like
honey, ginger, and turmeric can be an effective
cough homemade remedy. 4. Pregnant mothers and
new born at higher risk It appears that women
infected with coronavirus, can in some cases pass
the disease to her baby. Infants can be infected
shortly after being born. Pregnant women should
take extra precautions to avoid getting
infected.
