A member asked:

My temp is 99.2 just took my covid test waiting for my results. is 99.2 a concerned for covid?

Need more info: A temp of 99.2 is BORDERLINE elevated. Depends on where temp was taken, time of day (!!!), any meds your taking. Fever alone (whether present or not) does not identify you as having coronavirus. Lots of other symptoms are often present. Check with your doctor (and, perhaps, get a coronavirus assay)
