Treatment

Treatment is available! Testing is important to determine what treatment is best for you. The resiratory virus you have will determine the best treatment for your virus. Contact a health professional right away after a positive test to determine if you are eligible, even if your symptoms are mild right now.

Don’t wait until you’re very ill.

The treatments for both COVID-19 and the Flu need to be used in the first few days after symptoms begin, typically within the first 5 days.

Options:

  • contact your primary care doctor

  • purchase a Flu/Covid test from a pharmacy
