Managing COVID-19 depends on your symptoms, overall health, and risk factors. 

Mild symptoms: Rest, hydrate, and use over-the-counter meds. Contact your doctor for fever, cough, or shortness of breath.

Antivirals: Prescription-only; some taken at home, others given in hospitals for high-risk patients.

Immune response: Corticosteroids can manage severe inflammation ("cytokine storm").

Severe complications: Oxygen therapy or antibiotics may be needed for organ damage or infections.

Testing is available for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. New Jersey residents over age 1 can access testing without a prescription. For non-residents or children under age 1, a prescription is required

Symptomatic testing may require a prescription. Contact a primary care physician, visit an urgent care, or use telehealth for assistance.

If you experience serious symptoms, such as breathing difficulties, chest pressure, confusion, or bluish skin/nails, seek medical assistance immediately. Unsure about testing? Contact your primary care physician.
