COVID-19 Symptoms in 2024: 12 Signs You May Be Infected
Fever has been one of the hallmark symptoms of COVID-19 for a long time. In 2024, it is still a good sign of infection but not everyone infected will have fever. A fever is the condition when body temperature exceeds 100.4°F (38°C). If chills accompany the fever, it may mean that the body is trying to battle an infection. In the case of COVID-19, the fever can last for days with often an increase and then a decrease in that fever, sometimes leading to mistaken diagnoses.
