Conjunctivitis may indicate infection with the Omina coronavirus strain. This was stated by the British therapist Nina Aslam, whose words are quoted by the Daily Express.
According to British data from the ZOE COVID Study, only 50% of patients with the Omicron strain experience three classic symptoms of coronavirus, including fever, cough and odor loss.
However, most experience conjunctivitis. According to the expert, the coronavirus can enter the body with the help of cellular receptors that are in the eyes, writes Reedus.
They are located in the cells that cover the retina, the white of the eye and the eyelids, notes Zvezda TV. Aslam noted that with Omicron conjunctivitis can occur even in the asymptomatic course of the disease, writes NSN. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the lining of the eye caused by an allergic reaction or infection (viral, rarely bacterial).
