Experts identify new symptoms of Arcturus, a highly transmissible Covid variant
new Covid-19 variant are high fever, cough, and itchy conjunctivitis or pinkeye. Speaking to Fortune, Richard Reithinger, an infectious disease epidemiologist at RTI International said it is probably too early to tell if the virus' symptoms set has truly shifted and conjunctivitis has previously been reported as a Covid symptom. Researchers at Nebraska Medicine’s Truhlsen Eye Institute had also witnessed the virus in the eye’s tear film which could lead to conjunctivitis. They said that the symptoms of conjunctivitis include tearing, or watery eyes, redness, swelling, pain or irritation, itching, and discharge.
