The novel coronavirus infection has devastated the entire world. With over 13 million infections, there is no knowing how severe the infection can be or how bad symptoms can be. Another bout of confusion is the type of symptoms a patient showcases- from children to healthy adults, pregnant women or elderlies, the signs of the infections vary from one individual to another. While COVID-19 is a respiratory infection, there can also be some sneaky symptoms people can miss out on- skin rashes, for one.
A new study done by King's College, London has now highlighted that a persistent skin rash can be a prominent typical sign of developing COVID-19 infection, after cough, fever and breathlessness.
