To ask the Scottish Government what percentage of the population has reported conjunctivitis as a symptom of COVID-19.
Answer
Upper respiratory tract infections may result in viral conjunctivitis and this is also the case with COVID-19. A meta-analysis published in April found the overall rate of conjunctivitis in COVID-19 reported cases was 1.1% ranging from 3% in severe cases to 0.7% in non-severe cases.
Advice from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and the College of Optometrists recognise that it is unlikely that a patient would present with viral conjunctivitis secondary to COVID-19 without other symptoms as conjunctivitis seems to be a late feature where it has occurred.
It is important to note that there is no evidence to suggest that conjunctivitis can cause COVID-19 or that you are at higher risk of developing COVID-19 if you have conjunctivitis.
