Allergies or COVID-19? The symptoms to watch for this weekend.
Family physician Dr. Rhonda Low said on CTV Morning Live Thursday that, unfortunately for seasonal allergy-sufferers, symptom triggers could be here for a while still. "Tree season will last all the way until late spring and then, unfortunately, grasses can get you right through the summer," she said.
Some of those symptoms – which can last the entire allergy season – include sneezing, an itchy nose and watery or bloodshot eyes. But having those symptoms can be even more uncomfortable during a pandemic when health issues might bring extra anxiety. However, COVID-19 will have a few differences, Low explained.
