Abstract

Geriatric patients may present with atypical symptoms for COVID-19. This case aims to highlight how an elderly patient with two to three weeks of low-grade fever of unknown origin was managed. The family medicine resident was able to assess the patient holistically and admit her to the right discipline with the proper contact precaution.
