Covid and ENT
A respiratory disease called COVID-19 is brought on by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The virus can have a variety of consequences on the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) parts of the body because it predominantly affects the respiratory system. The virus may also result in upper respiratory tract irritation, which increases the risk of complications like acute sinusitis, ear infections, and laryngitis.
Due to their frequent contact with patients' airways during their job, ENT specialists may be more susceptible to developing COVID-19 because the virus is primarily conveyed through respiratory droplets. In order to stop the virus from spreading, healthcare personnel are encouraged to take extra precautions when treating patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
