There are no specific home treatments for COVID-19 (the disease caused by the Coronavirus). If you catch it, make sure to get plenty of rest and fluids, and use paracetamol to treat the fever.

Antibiotics do not work or protect you from viruses. So, you should ensure you have some paracetamol which works better than ibuprofen. Keep warm and take in lots of fluids. It’s important to watch for any deterioration like breathing difficulties.

See the NHS websites for emergency numbers and information.
