From the article...
The so-called “COVID toes” are “typically painful to touch and could have a hot burning sensation". “This is a manifestation that occurs early on in the disease, meaning you have this first, then you progress. Sometimes this might be your first clue that they have COVID when they don’t have any other symptoms.”
Here's the whole article...

From another much longer article...
"Infection may also lead to blood vessel constriction. Reports are emerging of ischemia in the fingers and toes—a reduction in blood flow that can lead to swollen, painful digits and tissue death."

Wow, haven't heard of this symptom before. Sounds awful. Another unusual symptom of Covid-19 can be pink eye.
This is an interesting and thought provoking post you have here. I had not heard about this before reading about it here. Thanks to you, I learned something new today.
