Can I still take a bath if I've tested positive for COVID? I've heard that those who have the virus are sometimes told not to bathe. Also, is it okay to wash my hair?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally safe to bathe if you're COVID-positive, as long as you take precautions like avoiding hot water that could strain your body. As for washing your hair, you can do so, but try to avoid overexerting yourself and make sure to rest afterward if you feel weak. Always follow your doctor's advice for the best care.
