Babies (less than three months old) with fever (38°C and above) should be referred to the Children's Emergency for clinical assessment and considered for admission. 

If your child has mild ARI symptoms (e.g. fever, cough, sore throat), supportive care and symptom-relieving treatment, such as treatment with fever-reducing medications, staying well-hydrated, and getting enough rest, are usually enough to manage the acute symptoms of COVID-19.

Keep your child at home until their symptoms resolve, and avoid close contact with others, especially vulnerable persons. They may return to school/childcare once they are well.

Seek medical attention promptly if your child develops any of the following symptoms:

• High fever

• Rapid/difficulty breathing

• Lethargy or not interacting when awake

• Difficulty in feeding (unable to drink or breastfeed)

• Blue lips or face

• Signs of dehydration (reduced or no wet diapers/urine output)
