The UK has officially passed the peak of the coronavirus infection.
The government has advised the public to remain indoors in an attempt to curb the spread of the infection.
Despite nearing the final stretch of the COVID-19 outbreak, hundreds of people are still dying in the UK everyday.
One of the hidden warning signs of coronavirus is developing particularly watery eyes, it’s been claimed.

Watery eyes are a common problem, and it can be easily confused with hay fever.
A blocked tear duct is the most common cause of epiphora, but it could also be caused by a number of other conditions.

Epiphora may also cause redness in the eyes, soreness, blurred vision, and even sharp pains in the eyes.
But, just because you start to develop watery eyes, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have coronavirus.
Some patients have also reported diarrhoea, headaches, and even a widespread rash.
If you’re worried that you may have the infection, you should quarantine yourself for at least 14 days.
More than 261,000 people have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK.
Of those patients, almost 37,000 people have sadly died from COVID-19.
