Corona 19, can't spread with tears (Research)

The corona-19 virus is spread through the carrier's droplets, such as a cough or sneezing saliva or runny nose.
However, studies have shown that there is little risk of transmission through tears.
Researchers at the National University Hospital of Singapore collected tear samples over about 20 days from the time the symptoms started to recovering in 17 patients with corona. The researchers also took samples from the back of the patient's nose and throat.

The results of the analysis were completely different. The body fluid from the nose and throat of the confirmed person was full of viruses, but no virus was detected in the tears.
(The probability of the Corona 19 virus spreading through tears is very low,) said Dr. Ivan Seah, the author of the paper.
However, a research team at Zhejiang University in China published a paper last month stating that a virus was detected in the tears of 19 patients in Corona. Apart from how the final conclusion will come out, experts advise that protecting your eyes as much as your nose and mouth is also important.
This is because, in close contact with the patient, the droplets discharged while talking or coughing or sneezing can enter the nose, mouth, and eyes. Even if you rub your eyes with a hand that has touched a handle or elevator button with the Corona-19 virus, you can also be infected immediately.
The research paper (Assessing Viral Shedding and Infectivity of Tears in Coronavirus Desease 2019 (COVID-19) Patients) was published in the journal Ophthalmology.
