Arcturus COVID Variant: Symptoms to Watch Out For

The new Arcturus variant of COVID-19 can present with a new symptom - conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. Conjunctivitis is irritation of the eye and the eyelid, oftentimes associated with viruses, allergies, or bacterial infections. It can be challenging to tell the difference between viral and allergic conjunctivitis as seasonal allergies have arrived and they can result in similar symptoms. If you are experiencing conjunctivitis symptoms, it would be beneficial to test yourself for COVID-19. Although there has not been a documented correlation scientifically between Arcturus and conjunctivitis, there have been enough cases of conjunctivitis with COVID-19 that it is very plausible.
