2. Prepare Bedrooms For Isolation:

Shortages of medical equipment and ICU beds are occurring across the country. New hospitals are being built, and old facilities are being reopened, and even medical tents have to set up. Retired doctors and nurses, as well as medical school staff, are called in during the epidemic season. It means that one of your family members will need to be sequestered to a room of the house alone while the others try to stay away.  Maybe you already have a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, so that the rest of the family can use a clean environment to get ready in the morning.

Others have already kitted out their basements as a new apartment, which would be perfect as an isolation area. But other people who live in a smaller space aren't so lucky. If possible, try to save an area of your home that has every necessity, so that people don't have to walk up or downstairs to get to a bathroom.
