Experiencing symptoms: If you think you have the symptoms of coronavirus disease, please stay at home and call 8-1-1.

Returning from travel in Hubei province (including Wuhan city) in China, Iran, or Italy: If you have returned from these areas, monitor for symptoms and avoid contact with others for 14 days after leaving those areas.

Returning from any travel: Travellers returning from other parts of the world are not asked to self-isolate, but should monitor themselves for symptoms. If you have been travelling and you become ill or become ill after you return home, tell your health care provider about recent travel and your symptoms. You should also tell your provider if you had close contact with a sick person or had another high-risk exposure such as direct contact with animals.
