Is covid contagious with no fever?
My son recently tested positive for Covid, but he doesn't have a fever at all, only a mild cough. I'm worried about him spreading it to others. Is Covid contagious with no fever?

Yes, absolutely. Fever is just one symptom and plenty of people are completely asymptomatic but still spread the virus. If you suspect you have it, please isolate immediately and get tested.

It is so scary because you feel fine but can still make others sick, which caused me so much anxiety when my family got infected. Yes, you can definitely transmit it without a fever. Please take care and don't blame yourself if you are feeling anxious.

I did not know this, I thought fever was always the first sign. If there is no fever, how many days should we isolate to keep others safe? Please guide me.

Yes, it is highly contagious even without a fever. While you isolate, if you have zero symptoms and your doctor allows, you can do some light stretching or yoga inside your room to keep your blood circulation good.

Yes, it spreads silently. Best thing is to wear a double mask even at home if you have a mild cough, and keep your room ventilated. Simple steam inhalation and resting well will help while you monitor your health.
