Russia (bbabo.net), - British doctor Nina Aslam said that eye damage (in particular, conjunctivitis) is one of the symptoms of coronavirus infection. This is a feature of the "omicron" strain, the specialist emphasizes. And he adds that there are cell receptors in the eyes, by binding to which SARS-CoV-2 can enter the body.

According to Aslam, whose opinion was published in the Daily Express newspaper, with coronavirus, conjunctivitis can be even with an asymptomatic course of the disease.

It was previously reported that headache, runny nose and sore throat are the most common symptoms of COVID-19 in case of infection with the Omicron strain. In 75 percent of cases, we are talking about a mild cold.

Virologist Konstantin Chumakov noted that the new variant of the coronavirus mainly affects the upper respiratory tract, without descending lower and without causing pneumonia.

“Previous strains caused loss of smell, patients had fever, thrombosis, kidney damage. The symptoms caused by Omicron are different. There is no loss of smell, cough, irritation in the nose. It lasts from one day to three to five,” Chumakov emphasized.
