What should you do if someone in your family contracts Covid-19? An expert weighs in
CNN
CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen answers your questions on steps to take if you think a member of your family has contracted Covid-19.
What if a child tests positive — how should parents and guardians care for that child safely? What if a parent has Covid-19 but their children don't? How long should someone be in isolation? When should people be tested? What if everyone in the family contracts Covid-19 — do they need to be isolated from one another?
To answer your questions, I spoke with one of our experts, CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, who is an emergency physician and professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health. She is also author of "Lifelines: A Doctor's Journey in the Fight for Public Health," and the mom of two young children.
