Organise your family’s care questions

Readiness starts with knowing what is already at home and who to ask. Keep the packaging and instructions for the products you use.

Family readiness

Readiness starts with knowing what is already at home and who to ask. Keep the packaging and instructions for the products you use.

Handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, and cleaning frequently touched surfaces help reduce the spread of respiratory infections.

Four questions for your conversation

  1. Do I know each family member’s age and individual needs?
  2. Can I find the thermometer instructions?
  3. Which products are expired or have an unknown opening date?
  4. Have I noted allergies and current treatment for the professional discussion?

Your next step

For children, ask for age-appropriate guidance. Breathing difficulty or severe deterioration needs immediate medical assessment.
