In reply to the discussion: My Husband just tested positive for COVID,,,, [View all]orleans
(37,233 posts)23. sorry to hear this
my first thought was: get out and go stay at a hotel
but that might not be such a good idea -- you could catch something there too
do you have hepa air filters? turn them all on
do you have masks you can wear?
don't forget to wash your hands before touching your face/eyes/nose
maybe your husband can stay put in the bedroom (with the door closed)?
hope he recovers quickly and you don't come down with it
maybe you'll be able to find some ideas/help/answers at this link:

Sorry to hear that. Paxlovid taken early on really helped lessen my symptoms. Dr called in an RX when I called.

Not whining. It is legitimate fear/ concern to get sick with covid period. Best wishes for all to get through it.

Good luck. If it helps, I keep reading that a mouthwash containing CPC and saline nasal spray helps get it over
