#1 Conjunctivitis with COVID-19 is rare
Less than 2 percent of coronavirus patients get conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. If you get pink eye, it’s unlikely to be coronavirus especially if you’re not experiencing the more common coronavirus-related symptoms, such as a dry cough, shortness of breath and fever. Viral conjunctivitis caused by other less serious viruses is very common, and it’s allergy season now and allergic conjunctivitis is common.
