At a Raised Temperature?

Normal body temperature is different for everyone and changes during the day. A high temperature is usually considered to be 38C or above. This is sometimes called a fever. Many things can cause a high temperature, but it's usually caused by your body fighting an infection.

Is 37.7 a fever for Covid?

Fever (a raised temperature) is a common symptom of COVID-19, affecting more than two thirds of people with the disease. Current health guidelines advise that anyone with a temperature of 37.8°C or more should be considered to be potentially infected with COVID-19 and should self-isolate.

What can an elevated temperature indicate?

Having a fever is a sign that something out of the ordinary is going on in your body. For an adult, a fever may be uncomfortable, but usually isn't a cause for concern unless it reaches 103 F (39.4 C) or higher. For infants and toddlers, a slightly elevated temperature may indicate a serious infection.
