New Confinement and Family Welcome | TheHomeCareCompany
Wearing a mask for the general public does not replace barrier gestures or the rules of physical distancing, which must be applied in all circumstances. It is a complementary measure by adding only physical barriers when you are in contact with other people.
When wearing a mask is not possible (for example due to a disability or pathology), alternatives such as wearing a long visor should be sought while ensuring compliance with the rules of physical distancing.
What to do if a household member has symptoms of COVID-19?
In the event of suggestive symptoms (fever, cough, breathing difficulties, loss of taste or smell), it is necessary to contact the attending physician of the person who will assess their state of health and the actions to be carried out.In the event of serious symptoms (in particular respiratory distress), the same should be called directly.While awaiting the diagnosis, the person must be isolated in their room and the barrier and hygiene measures strictly observed. Visits from relatives are strongly discouraged.
