Does infection with the new coronavirus always cause a fever?

The degree of fever of novel coronavirus pneumonia varies, it can have fever or no fever, because the new coronavirus infection can be hidden infection, only the novel coronavirus test is positive, there can be no clinical manifestation. Fever can be 37℃-38℃, high fever situation is rare, usually medium-low fever, indicating that the body has the process of positive and evil, high fever may be heavy disease and evil, the body’s positive qi is sufficient, strong resistance to evil, the higher the degree of fever, indicating the higher degree of intensity. However, a low degree of fever does not mean that the disease is mild. It may be that the concentration of the infected virus is low and the body is not very intense in resisting the evil. It is also possible that the virulence of the virus is greater, and its own resistance is weaker, and the ability to resist the evil is insufficient, so there will be a low degree of fever. Clinically, it is common to see elderly patients suffering from underlying diseases, who may have heavier lung infections and no fever manifestations, showing only mental lethargy and loss of appetite.
