State officials report a critical shortage of testing.

If you're sick, do not go to the ER. Consult first with a health care provider. Regardless of whether tests show you have a common cold, the flu or COVID-19, doctors will tell most people to stay home, rest, get plenty of fluids and avoid contact with others.

If your symptoms worsen, you have difficulty breathing or you have a fever for more than 72 hours, call your doctor. If you don't have a primary care physician, call 2-1-1 to reach HeartLine Oklahoma.

Local guidance

These steps are crucial to "flatten the curve" and save your fellow Oklahomans' lives and livelihoods. They will slow the rate of infection, save crucial medical resources for the sickest and most vulnerable patients, and help us return as soon as possible to a normal way of life.

● Practice social distancing. Stay home if you can. Work from home if you can.

● When you must go out, stay at least 6 feet away from others, including when picking up food and basic necessities. Avoid gatherings of 10 or more people.

● Pay attention to your surroundings. Avoid crowded rooms, especially if you, a loved one or other people in the room are especially vulnerable.

● Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

● If you're sick, avoid close contact with other people.

● Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water aren't available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

● When you must leave home, wash your hands as soon as you get back.

● Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

● Cough or sneeze into a tissue. Then throw the tissue in the trash.
