As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread globally, it is important -- more than ever -- to have a thermometer in your household first aid kit. That is because one of the main symptoms of the virus is high fever, so if you or any adult start to feel ill, you will want to determine body temperature first before deciding whether or not this will merit immediate medical attention.
