I have symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive on a PCR or rapid antigen test. You should stay at home and self-isolate until symptoms have been improving for 24 hours (or 48 hours if gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea) and you do not have a fever, even if a repeated test is negative.

If you test positive, call your health care provider to ask about treatment options. If you do not have a health care provider, call 212-COVID19 (212-268-4319) or visit NYC Health + Hospitals ExpressCare.
