My two children, 2 years and 5 years old, have a cough and runny nose. We have done the test (waiting for results). What should we do in the meantime?

While waiting for the test results, it is important to stay in quarantine to prevent the potential spread of the virus. Make sure to follow basic hygiene practices such as coughing into your elbow, washing your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds, and avoiding sharing personal items. It is also advisable to avoid using public transportation, having visitors at home, and going to school, work, or any public places. The doctor should contact you within 24 to 96 hours after taking the test. It is crucial to continue quarantine even if the test result is negative. Stay safe and have a good day.
