Not really: The primary symptoms of covid-19 are Fever/chills, Cough, Shortness of breath, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, Nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea. If you are having allergic rhinitis, it is probably due to some kind of environmental exposure. Try an antihistamine (diphenhydramine, loratidine, cetirizine) for symptom relief.

COVID 19: No. Allergic rhinnitis is not considered a condition that puts you at risk for a worse COVID 19 outcome.
