How to prepare in case you get Covid-19?

In case you get Covid, you may consider:

• Keeping at least 2 weeks supplies of your usual medications

• You may experience cold or flu symptoms, aches and pains, and a temperature (fever) which may require paracetamol or ibuprofen. Keep supplies of these medications for yourself and for other household members (eg. Children's Panadol).

• Be prepared to keep fluid levels up to maintain hydration, as you may experience diarrhoea and tummy upsets.

• Plan for how you will provide meals for yourself or other family members if you need to separate healthy household members from unwell members. You may also need to use separate bathrooms and toilet facilities if you can.

• Consider how you will look after pets, and have pet food supplies on hand.

• You may need to consider some activities or plans to keep yourself, children or other household members occupied while isolating or if  other family members are unwell. Consider hobbies, puzzles, games,  movies, arts & crafts, books or other home-based activities. Remember: while in isolation you are not allowed to leave your home.

• Make sure you have contact details for your GP, pharmacy, and a plan for who to contact if you need assistance, or become very unwell.
