Most people who suffer from the coronavirus will experience mild symptoms, it is said that about 70 percent of COVID-19 patients have mild conditions and can be treated at home. Some of them have flu-like conditions including dry cough and fever 37.8-38 degrees Celsius.
At present, the health authorities advise against going to hospitals or clinics to reduce the spread of disease. Also note that despite having mild symptoms, coronavirus patients can still transmit.

Until now there has been no vaccine or cure for the coronavirus and doctors say patients with mild-moderate symptoms can be treated at home. Here's how to treat it quoted from The Sun.

1. Stay hydrated
It is recommended to drink lots of water so that the body remains hydrated. Some guidelines suggest about 2 liters a day but each person's fluid needs vary so keep drinking when you feel thirsty.

You can use urine as an indicator of hydration. If it is bright yellow and clear, the body is well hydrated. Avoid soda and alcohol because it will make you more easily dehydrated.

2. Take paracetamol
If you experience mild conditions, patients can take paracetamol to reduce symptoms caused by infections such as fever. Some experts recommend paracetamol rather than ibuprofen as a fever-lowering because there are fears that symptoms can worsen.

3. Get enough rest
Sleep is very important to restore energy and improve body condition when sick. When the body is infected with a virus, you will feel tired and sleepy because the immune system is fighting infection.

If you don't get enough rest, your body can get a fever. It is recommended not to exercise heavily but can do light activities because it can help to sleep at night.

4. Always monitor symptoms
You should watch for symptoms and seek medical help when there is no improvement and the condition significantly decreases. The signs include difficulty breathing, pain or continuous pressure on the chest, weakness, and blueness on the lips.

If it is urgent, call the hotline immediately and handle the COVID-19 operator.

5. Isolating yourself
If you experience symptoms, you should isolate yourself immediately and not leave the house for 14 days. If possible, separate bedrooms and separate toilets. Avoid using the same cutlery as other family members while in isolation.
