Zusammenfassung:	Over 15,000 veterans in 135 VA nursing homes were systematically tested for SARS-CoV-2 and had daily temperatures assessed from March to August, 2020. Lower baseline temperatures, and in SARS-CoV-2+ , lower maximum temperatures were observed with advancing age. Clinicians should be aware of the potential diminished fever response in the elderly with SARS-CoV-2.
