I certainly hope this never happens to you and your family, but in case:
- Stay in separate rooms
- Give your sick family member their own trash cans and trash bags
- Leave meals at their door
- Wear a face mask when entering their quarantine room
- If a bathroom is shared, it should be thoroughly cleaned after each use
- Gloves should be worn and hands should be washed after handling items the patient has touched
- Anyone ill should also be monitored for their breathing and tightening in their chests
