No risk, no worry: Contrarly to popular beliefs and folklore, cool temperatures do not carry any risks in people with fever, and they do not raise the risk of infections like colds, flu, or pneumonia. If you are recovering from the illness that caused fever and starting to feel well, whatever activities you feel up to doing probaly are safe. Dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather and planned activties.
