The fast-spreading Covid Arcturus variant may have a symptom not seen in other strains, according to doctors in India - where rising infections has led to a return of mask rules.
The Omicron sub-variant has led to a spike in cases years on from the coronavirus pandemic peak, and doctors are noticing that more young patients with the virus are experiencing conjunctivitis.
Conjunctivitis - or pink eye - is red, sore eye inflammation, usually caused by an allergy, and has been seen in children and adolescents testing positive for the variant in India, reports the Mirror.
