“When should I go to the emergency room for COVID?”

Warning signs that would mean you need to seek emergency care include difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, inability to wake up or stay awake, confusion, pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, fingernail,s and toenail beds depending on skin tone. Other reasons would include severe dehydration, inability to keep down food and liquid, and problems urinating (dark urine, no urine, blood in urine).

Chest pain, shortness of breath, duskiness of skin, neurological issues would all be reasons to go to the ER, especially if you have high risk factors like age over 65, diabetes type 2, obesity, or chronic lung or kidney disease.
