Should I use my humidifier or diffuser while I’m sick with COVID-19?

Humidifiers and hot showers can help ease symptoms such as sore throat and cough. There are no recommendations on the use of diffusers or essential oils if you have COVID-19. If you choose to use them, continue to monitor your symptoms and stop using them if you notice your symptoms getting worse. The most important actions you can take to feel better include drinking plenty of fluids, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of rest.
