The Government of Canada has an infographic describing how to care for a child with COVID-19 at home. Please remember that children who have mild COVID-19 symptoms are able to stay at home with a caregiver throughout their recovery without needing hospitalization. Currently, the symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. You should:
- Monitor your child for symptoms
- Keep hands clean
- Avoid spreading the infection to others
- Keep your environment clean
- Protect yourself
- Maintain medical supplies
