I'm covid positive and I'm really worried about my 7-month-old baby boy. Is he safe being around me? And how serious is my condition?

Your 7-month-old baby may be at risk of contracting COVID-19 from you, as the virus can spread through close contact. It is important to take precautions such as wearing a mask, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining distance as much as possible to protect your baby. As for the severity of your condition, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion, or bluish lips or face, seek medical attention immediately. For COVID-19 treatment, you can take medications such as paracetamol for fever and body aches, and antiviral medications like Remdesivir under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.
