West Valley Medical Center - August 12, 2020

A lot of the spread of COVID-19 is coming through direct family interaction. Much of which happens at home.

If you or someone in your family is showing symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive, here are some tips on how to minimize the possible spread to other family members while at home.

First, follow these basic steps:

  • Wash your hands often
  • Wear a mask
  • Isolate in a room, if possible
  • Designate a bathroom
  • Maintain social distancing

You will also want to:

  • Clean high-touch areas
  • Monitor your symptoms regularly
  • Isolate the best you can and maintain a social distance

Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you experience these symptoms:

  • Trouble breathing
  • Chest pressure or pain
  • Confusion

At West Valley Medical Center, we're dedicated to the care and improvement of human life. We will get through this together!

Don't forget to #MaskUpIdaho - for your loved ones, your family, your neighbors, your local businesses, your community.
