Runny nose is another common COVID symptom which has remained constant in the list of symptoms from earlier waves.
A typical description of a runny nose is thin watery discharge from the nose. Sometimes this can irritate the nostril and cause sneezing.
In the early days of the pandemic, it was thought that having a runny nose was not a symptom of COVID-19, and was much more likely to be a sign of a regular cold. However, data from the ZOE COVID Symptom Study app suggests that having a runny nose can be a sign of COVID-19.
The study, which has been tracking COVID symptoms from the beginning of the pandemic, has listed runny nose as the second most common sign of COVID seen currently.
