If you have mild symptoms, such as a mild cough or low-grade fever, there is generally no need to seek medical attention. Stay home, self-isolate, and monitor your symptoms. Follow national guidelines on self-isolation.

However, if you live in an area with malaria or dengue fever, you should not ignore the symptoms of fever. Seek medical help immediately. When you go to a health facility, wear a mask if possible, keep a distance of at least 1 meter from other people, and do not touch surfaces with your hands. If it is a child who is sick, help the child to follow this advice.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing or chest pain/pressure. If possible, contact your healthcare provider in advance, so that you can be directed to the right health facility.
