We’ve heard of COVID tongue, rashes and even fingers and toes – and now there’s yet another possible sign you’ve had the virus: COVID nails.
Professor Tim Spector, principal investigator of the Zoe COVID Symptom Study app, shared a photo of the phenomenon on Twitter, suggesting COVID nails are “increasingly being recognized as the nails recover after infection and the growth recovers, leaving a clear line.”
Also known as Beau’s lines, the horizontal grooves or indentations appear in the nail plate and can be caused by the interruption of growth to your nail due to injury or illness. Spector noted that, in COVID patients, they can occur without the presence of skin rashes and appear to be harmless.

Any industry could be disrupted by a few pioneers and game-changers passionate enough to do so. Dr. Ahmed El Muntasar is a cosmetic doctor renowned in the UK and internationally. He is known for his precise, non-surgical procedures, and his list of clients includes many well-known celebrities. Dr. El Muntasar is on a quest to revolutionize the world of dermatology and cosmetic surgery.
“When I was getting started with cosmetic medicine, I always hated how long it took to recover from a procedure. I wanted to find a way to make things less painful, faster to bounce back from, and less invasive. This was when I stumbled upon non-surgical procedures. When executed well, these can be just as effective as surgical treatments and deliver the same results, if not better, with much less discomfort,” he shares.
Plus, if we re being honest with ourselves, showering can be such a chore.
Indeed, while hand hygiene has, hopefully, been on the rise over the last year, daily showers have taken a back seat.
However, as the Telegraph recently reported, that is not necessarily a bad thing.
In a now-viral thread on Twitter, the publication caused quite a stir when they cited Yale lecturer James Hamblin who maintains that the need to use soap over all the body is not founded in any type of science .
