Despite the new research, doctors don't consider you to have a fever until your temperature is at or above 100.4 F. But you can be sick if it's lower than that.
What body temperature is considered fever?
CDC considers a person to have a fever when he or she has a measured temperature of 100.4° F (38° C) or greater, or feels warm to the touch, or gives a history of feeling feverish.
What is considered to be fever for COVID-19?
The average normal body temperature is generally accepted as 98.6°F (37°C). Some studies have shown that the "normal" body temperature can have a wide range, from 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C).
A temperature over 100.4°F (38°C) most often means you have a fever caused by an infection or illness.
