A member asked:
Can you get covid-19 through your eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: It is believed that the virus can be spread via eye contact but there would be minimal transmission via this route. Mostly it is spread via nose and mouth. This is why visors / shields are worn by some medical personnel.
