Do i need to wear a facial covering at home if i am having a low grade fever with no other symptoms? the doctor i had a video visit with had mentioned to hydrate and self monitor symptoms for possible mild dehydration.

Depends, mostly no: If you are going to be isolating at home and not interacting with anyone, it’s fine not to wear a face covering. This is avoid spreading air droplets from you onto others/surfaces. Cleaning surfaces around the house will help as well in general. Unless, you live with someone who is at risk of infection esp from resp diseases (I.e. covid-19/flu) then, yes, you need wear a mask/self isolate.

For the past 2-3 weeks I have had unusual chills. I have no fever, no aches or other symptoms and I don't feel too bad. I do work out pretty often and thought it might be slight hydration. My local doctor put me on an antibiotic for 7 days- 500mg of Levaquin. it seemed to help with the chills a little, but it seems they have gotten worse. I was wondering If I should go back to the doctor and have blood/urine collected, etc. Consistent Chills?
