COVID 19: Taking temperatures is just one screening procedure. Some people with COVID don't mount a fever. Some have no symptoms. A some people could be infected but pre-symptomatic. so, not having a fever doesn't guarantee that you aren't infected with COVID 19. Take care.

Agree with Dr, F: Lack of fever does not rule out Covid-19. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
