Covid feet in fight

-

THE skin condition known as ‘Covid toes’ may be a side effect of the immune system’s response to fighting off the virus, a new study has found.

The symptom results in chilblain- like inflammati­on and redness on the hands and feet, with the condition sometimes lasting for months at a time.

It typically develops within a week to four weeks of being infected.
