Developing conjunctivitis—commonly known as pink eye—may be a rare symptom of COVID-19, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO).
The AAO—a medical association of 32,000 ophthalmologists—on Tuesday said that in rare cases, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, can cause a “mild follicular” conjunctivitis, and that reports suggest it can be transmitted by aerosol contact with conjunctiva.
