Yes, a runny or stuffy nose can be a symptom of COVID-19, although it is not as common or prominent as other symptoms like fever, cough, and loss of taste or smell. COVID-19 can present with a wide range of symptoms, and some people may experience mild symptoms, while others may have more severe ones or even remain asymptomatic.
It’s important to note that many respiratory illnesses, including the common cold and seasonal allergies, can also cause a runny or stuffy nose. Therefore, having a runny nose alone does not necessarily mean you have COVID-19. If you develop symptoms that you suspect could be related to COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, it’s advisable to get tested for COVID-19 and consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on managing your symptoms and potential quarantine or isolation measures.
