Our final report with COVID-19 holiday safety tips shares ideas of what to do after attending a gathering. If you learn you may have been unknowingly exposed to COVID-19 do the following steps for fourteen days after the event. Make an effort to stay home as much as possible. Consider getting tested for COVID-19 and avoid being around people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. If one gets symptoms or they test positive contact the host and the other people who were at the event right away. They may need to quarantine and be tested. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, muscle aches and pains, or a decrease in your sense of taste or smell. Isolate and contact a doctor or healthcare provider. While waiting for test results stay home and follow the recommendations to stop the spread of the virus. If notified that there was close contact made to someone who tested positive, stay home for 14 days, watch for symptoms of COVID-19, and get information about COVID testing if feeling sick.
