Most people with COVID-19 — especially if they are up to date with their vaccinations — are likely to have a mild to moderate illness and will be fine to recover at home.
Symptoms for COVID-19 tend to show 2 to 5 days after a person has been infected but can take up to 14 days. Omicron causes similar symptoms to other variants.
Make sure you:
💧 drink lots of fluids
😴 get plenty of rest
💊 take paracetamol or ibuprofen to control fevers, body aches and headaches.
🚫 🏃 Avoid running, strenous activities, or exercise until you are well again.
