As more and more people begin learning about the symptoms of the coronavirus known as COVID-19, a new symptom has been pinpointed. Those who are asymptomatic carriers of the coronavirus have experienced what is being called “COVID toes.” In Italy, about one in five people that were asymptomatic with COVID-19 had lesions, rashes, and discoloration of their toes.

You may be feeling all right, but you may to take your socks off right now and see if you have COVID toes. Do not forget to wash your legs and your feet so that you do not contract COVID toes.

#1 Doctors warn of mystery coronavirus symptom called ‘COVID toes’

Look at those toes! The lesions and bruising on the toes is a sign that is now being called "COVID toes." Wiggle your toes daily so that your toes do not end up being out of whack like the toes in this video while you are quarantining.

  I didn’t hear about this either until I saw the video. I somehow missed this in my daily news watching. It really opened my eyes to be even more informed about what is happening.

#2 Symptoms of COVID-19

The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) lists some symptoms of COVID-19. However, they forgot to list a new symptom called "COVID toes." I hope that you do not contract COVID toes.

What do you think?

i’ve heard of heart issues, lung issues will have to check this. Has it been verified? Or is this preliminary?

  It was verified in the video – one out of every five people that contracted Covid-19 in Italy had this issue with the toes.

I thought this virus affected only the lungs. Those are odd looking toes.

  Doctors are finding out that this virus also attempts to cut off oxygen that travels throughout the bloodstream. If you watched the video, then you would hear the doctor talk about the bruising almost looking like frostbite due to oxygenation being limited.
