Sneezing

Likely allergies

With COVID-19 on the forefront of nearly everyone’s minds, it’s become common to see people move swiftly away from an individual who sneezes. Some may even joke, “She has coronavirus!” Any act that sends fluids flying makes people uneasy right now, and rightfully so. But the truth is that sneezing is very uncommon with COVID-19. You can scan the CDC’s list of symptoms, and find that sneezing does not come up. Any sneezing during this time of the year is likely due to allergies. That isn’t to say that a person cannot have both allergies and COVID-19 at the same time, so if other COVID-19 symptoms are co-occurring, get tested.
