Professor Tim Spector has said that people may notice changes to their fingernails after a Covid infection. Professor Spector, who is the principal investigator of the Zoe Covid Symptom Study app, said that the difference can happen even if you did not experience any other symptoms of Covid-19. What do ‘Covid nails’ look like? Professor Spector noted that people who have a clear line , which creates a prominent ridge, growing out of the nail may have had Covid before. People may also notice discoloration under their nails if they have previously had the virus. The professor said it is recognised as the nails recover after an infection. However, he adds that these are usually harmless and can be caused by any illness - meaning it is not only linked to Covid-19.
