NBC News: Virologist hospitalized with coronavirus believes he got it through his eyes
“We tend to pay attention to the nose and mouth,” the doctor said. “But you know, droplets landing on your eyes are just as infectious.”
This suggests perhaps we may need to protect our eyes, as well as our mouth and nose.
My friends wondering where I’ve been: I came down with #COVID19 & am hospitalized. I’m on the other end of it, but not out of the woods yet. Please continue to social distance. I used max precautions, but still managed to contract it. Back as soon as I’m able, friends. #StaySafe pic.twitter.com/Ck75sKLOU3
