have COVID-19. Stay home with symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea and pink eye.
You can still get COVID-19 data on the website of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as those run by state and local governments.
Use telehealth if you prefer
Seeing a doctor via telehealth is still an option, if yours offers this service and it’s what you prefer.
Those who are eligible for hospital-level care at home for any condition can still get it if their providers recommend it.
Patients, including children, who take prescription medicines that are controlled substances can keep getting those from a health care provider via telehealth through Nov. 11. These include opioid painkillers, sedatives, some ADHD medicines and treatments for opioid addiction.
Know your eligibility for Medicaid
If you have Medicaid coverage or your child is covered by CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program), you should receive an important message from your state.
For three years, a yearly requirement to prove eligibility for these income-based programs was suspended. Now, you’ll have to prove every year that you still qualify.
If you are no longer eligible for this coverage, other low-cost coverage may be available through healthcare.gov. You can enroll at any time after losing Medicaid coverage.
