+ F2: notify the district health department and follow the quarantine instructions. Self-report to F3.

+ F3: self-quarantine at home.

+ F4, 5: monitor and update the status of the above Fs.

F status can change depending on the test results of the above Fs, so it is necessary to notify the district health department to receive the earliest information.

+ If you don't know what F you are, isolate yourself when you have a cough or fever.

Always carry a bottle of hand sanitizer with you. Wash your hands and clean your house and belongings regularly. Especially, at this time, do not run away to seek refuge elsewhere because only when you are in a familiar place, with resources and good social relationships can you proactively handle bad situations in the best way.
