So, you've joined the exclusive club of the Covid-positive. Welcome to the sucky party, champ! Let's get through this together.

| What To Do If You Test Positive For Covid Nyc |
First Things First: Don't Panic (Too Much)
Okay, panic a little. It's understandable. This isn't exactly a vacation. But remember, millions have survived this, and so will you. Just try not to think about all those conspiracy theories you once dismissed as "crazy talk."
Isolate Yourself: Become a Hermit (Temporarily)
Time to channel your inner Bear Grylls, but indoors. Your new habitat is your bedroom. The bathroom is for essential trips only. And the kitchen? Well, let's hope you stocked up on ramen and frozen pizza.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Remember: Your roommate/partner/family is not your lab rat. Maintain a safe distance. If they need to enter your room, wear a mask, and for Pete's sake, open a window!
Contact Tracing: The Modern-Day Detective
You're now a detective. Your mission: inform everyone you've been in close contact with in the past few days. Think back to that crowded subway, that questionable bar night, and that overly friendly stranger. It's time to play phone tag.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
Self-Care: Pamper Yourself (From a Distance)
Who says being sick can't be glamorous? Break out those face masks (the skincare kind, not the Covid kind), binge-watch your favorite shows, and discover your hidden talent for online gaming. Just remember, hydration is key. So ditch the soda and chug that water like it's your job.
When to Worry: Know Your Symptoms
A little sniffle and a cough? Probably just a cold trying to steal your thunder. But if you're experiencing shortness of breath, persistent chest pain, or confusion, it's time to call your doctor. Remember, better safe than sorry.
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.

Food Delivery: Your New Best Friend
Let's face it, cooking is overrated when you're feeling like a walking tissue. Embrace the world of food delivery. From pizza to sushi, there's a cuisine for every craving. Just make sure to tip generously – those delivery people are risking their lives for your comfort food.
How to Stay Sane: Find Your Zen
Meditation, yoga, or simply staring out the window can work wonders. Remember, this too shall pass. And when it does, you'll have some epic quarantine stories to tell.
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
How to avoid feeling lonely: Connect virtually
Use video calls to connect with friends and family. Schedule virtual game nights or movie watch parties.
How to manage boredom: Explore new hobbies
Learn a new language, start painting, or try your hand at writing.
How to boost your immune system: Eat healthy and get enough rest
Focus on nutrient-rich foods and ensure you're getting enough sleep.
How to disinfect your space: Clean regularly
Pay extra attention to high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and countertops.
