Are you RTPCR positive or you feel that you have Covid 19 infection?
Either way you can take warm water bath. But if you are RTPCR positive then all the precautions regarding Covid protocol have to be followed.

Hello.
Yes you can very well take bath, including head bath, with lukewarm water but not during the episode of fever.
However it is advisable to take bed rest for few days until you will better.
