Covid-19:what should I do if my test is positive?

I remain isolated !!! To avoid contaminating my relatives and other people and thus prevent the spread of the virus.

UNTIL WHEN TO ISOLATE ME?

• My doctor will let me know, but I must be isolated for at least 7 days after the first signs of illness appear. At the end of this period, if I no longer have any signs of the disease, I can come out of isolation.
• During the 7 days following the end of my isolation, I rigorously wear a mask and strictly respect the barrier measures.
• If after these 7 days, I still have a fever, I must remain isolated. Once I have no more fever, I wait 2 days before ending my isolation.
• If necessary, I will be given a work stoppage.

Why is Covid-19 a dangerous virus?

Because it is very contagious:each infected person will contaminate at least 3 people in the absence of protective measures; and that a person infected but not yet experiencing symptoms can infect other people.
