Fever does not mean a new type of pneumonia. There are many diseases that cause fever, such as influenza caused by influenza virus, common cold caused by common virus, bacterial infections including tonsillitis, urinary tract infection, bacterial pneumonia, etc. Arthritis and rheumatism can also cause fever, so fever does not mean new coronavirus pneumonia. Hospitals have special fever clinics that can do screening tests to distinguish whether a fever is caused by a new coronavirus infection or another disease. It is often difficult for patients to differentiate on their own. Therefore, once you have fever symptoms, do not hide them, but must go directly to the hospital for screening to prevent missing the diagnosis of new coronavirus pneumonia and to do the exact treatment for the disease that is really causing the fever.
