If you develop a fever during a novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, you can first determine if it may be novel coronavirus pneumonia. If you are isolated at home and have not been in contact with other people for 2 weeks, it is unlikely that you have contracted novel coronavirus pneumonia. Consider a fever caused by the common cold or an infection in another area, or even an immune disease, a blood disorder, or a disease caused by a tumor. This should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If you have been to an infected area during an epidemic, such as Hubei, Wuhan, or returned from a foreign area where the disease is endemic, you must go to the hospital for screening if you have a fever. At this time it is difficult to confirm the diagnosis at home and there is a possibility of transmission to others. If there is no epidemiological history, but the fever is high for more than 3 days or 1 week, be sure to go to the hospital for further examination. Content source: Dr. You Lai
