From regularly washing your hands to wearing a face mask, there are several things you can do to reduce your risk of coronavirus.

Now, a new study claims that wearing glasses can also lower your risk of Covid-19. Researchers from Suizhou Zengdu Hospital in Suizhou, China, say that the use of eye protection might offer some degree of protection from Covid-19.

In the study, the team analysed 276 coronavirus patients at a hospital in China’s Hubei province. They found that only 6% wore glasses for more than eight hours a day.

In comparison, 31.5% of the general population in Hubei wear glasses for the same time, indicating that wearing glasses could be protective against the virus.
