    at Home with Assistance from your GP

Managing COVID-19 At Home With Assistance From Your General Practice

Most people with COVID-19 will be self-managed at home during isolation, with regular telehealth consultations (check-ups) with your General Practice. It is best if you can use video for these check-ups, otherwise phone check-ups will be used. Your doctor will want to know how your symptoms are going, as well as knowing your pulse rate, breathing rate and oxygen levels if you have a pulse oximeter.

Having a “kit” with some essential items will help to manage your symptoms and also assist your GP in assessing your wellbeing. We recommend the following:

  • A thermometer
  • Medication to relieve pain and fever (eg Paracetamol or Ibuprofen)
  • Enough of your regular medicines
  • Masks, hand sanitizer, gloves
  • Oral rehydration solutions (eg Gastrolyte/Hydrolyte) especially if you have children at home
  • Lozenges or throat spray to assist with sore throat symptoms
  • A pulse oximeter can be helpful to monitor your oxygen levels if you can afford this. Most pulse oximeters are not suitable for children.

Other things to consider:

  • A plan for how to get food and essential supplies for two weeks
  • A list of phone number for people outside your home you can call for help
  • Stay at home activities, especially if you have kids
  • A list of helpful numbers for more information
  • A list of helpful resources especially around mental health support if needed
  • A COVID-19 Action Plan if you are in a higher risk group for serious infection. Your GP can help you with this.
  • Practice how to record your pulse rate and breathing rate manually.
