Q: How do I isolate myself or another family member who has signs or confirmed COVID-19?

According to PHAC , that means you/they cannot go to school, work, public places, or use public transportation, such as buses and taxis. It also means they can’t go down to the corner store to pick up a few groceries during their isolation. Instead, health agencies are advising people to arrange for someone to deliver groceries and other supplies to their door. If they absolutely must come into contact with others, PHAC advises them to keep at least 2 metres away from them. They should also keep interactions brief and wear a mask. That means no lengthy visits. As an extra precaution, anyone in isolation should take extra care to avoid older adults or those with compromised immune systems or chronic conditions. For those living with families or roommates in the same home , it’s recommended they have a designated room for their exclusive use. If possible, they should also have their own bathroom. If that’s not possible and they have to share common areas, such as the bathroom or kitchen, health agencies are advising them to use the area last and to thoroughly clean all surfaces after they’re finished. As for laundry, Public Health Ontario said there is no need for people living in the same home as someone in isolation to separate their laundry, but they should wear gloves when handling the clothes.
