All respiratory infections, including COVID-19, call for hand and respiratory hygiene to decrease transmission.
If you suspect being infected by COVID-19, you must isolate yourself from other people living under the same roof. Continue your treatment with a mandibular advancement orthesis and follow guidelines established by public health.
Stay zen. Sleeping is part of the treatment. Rest!
