That is an excellent question. As far as we know, oral cysts are not an underling condition for any viral diseases and we could suppose this would translate to COVID-19 disease. Depending on the cause of a patient's oral cysts, there could be immunosuppression as some genetic diseases do increase the risk of jaw cysts. If you have a genetic disease that predisposes you to oral cysts and it also causes suppression of your immune system, then you might be at increased risk of complications from any viral illness including COVID-19.
