From NYC.ORG website page:
COVID-19, RSV and flu are spreading in NYC during the winter season. The Commissioner’s Advisory on Prevention strongly recommends everyone to wear masks in all indoor public settings to reduce the spread of these viruses.
People who get COVID-19 can protect others and reduce the risk of serious illness, hospitalization and death by following these steps to get necessary treatment.
- Get tested as soon as you have COVID-19 symptoms, five days after being exposed to someone with COVID-19 (or sooner if you develop symptoms).
- Isolate right away if you have symptoms or test positive. Go home and separate from others. Isolation guide
- Even if you do not have symptoms, rest. Take your temperature regularly and be alert to changes in symptoms. If you have a medical emergency, such as trouble breathing, call 911 or go to a hospital.
