  1. Try not to have many visitors to your house during this time. If you have
    visitors tell them that you are under COVID-19 self-quarantine.

  2. Keep your distance from others (about 6 feet or 2 meters).

  3. If you get sick with fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other signs of
    respiratory illness, call the health department at 603-271-4496.

  4. If you need to seek medical care for other reasons, such as dialysis,
    call ahead to your doctor and tell them about your recent travel.

shortness of breath.

• Write your temperature and any symptoms in the log.

• Family members who are not being monitored, do not need to record symptoms.

symptoms, follow their instructions.
