Is there a link between itchy eyes and novel coronavirus infections?

There is no direct relationship between itchy eyes and COVID-19 infection.

Although COVID-19 infection can present with a variety of symptoms, including respiratory symptoms, fever, fatigue, etc., itchy eyes are not specific to COVID-19 infection. Itchy eyes can be caused by a variety of causes, such as conjunctivitis, allergic reactions, dry eyes, etc.

If symptoms such as itchy eyes occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment to determine the cause of symptoms. Meanwhile, preventive measures such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, maintaining social distance, etc. should continue to be taken to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection.

In addition, if there are any health concerns or symptoms, consult a medical professional promptly.
