- You are confused or can’t think clearly.
- Your face and lips have a blue color.

Recovering from COVID-19
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Your health care provider will discuss follow-up care options to re-establish an exercise routine, advise on healthy eating habits, and give you guidance on managing your health based on your personal health history and family history.
If you do not have a primary care provider, contact one of ChristianaCare’s offices in your neighborhood. Virtual visits are available at some locations.
It is possible to become re-infected with COVID-19, so it’s important to:
- Continue to practice COVID safety.
- Get your vaccine and booster shots if you have not yet received them; immunity from a COVID-19 infection does not give as much protection the vaccine and booster series.
