Mariela Jacome, right, helps her mother Catherine Quinonez, center, who Mariela says suffers symptoms common of those associated with COVID-19, as they arrive to the entrance to a hospital in Guayaquil, Ecuador, Thursday, April 16, 2020. Mariela Jacome said several members of her family living in her home are suffering COVID-19-like symptoms in Guayaquil, a city that has become a hot spot in Latin America as the coronavirus pandemic spreads.

The condition may be a result of the impact the virus has on a patient's lungs, however the lack of any visible symptoms of discomfort remains a mystery., and a wide variety of rashes in patients suffering from the virus. Five separate types of rashes have so far been identified, including Covid toe, with the rashes more likely to appear in young people and to last several days.

While Covid toe has been the most widely publicised, a study by Spanish doctors has found the most common is maculopapules, which are small, flat and raised red bumps that usually appear on the torso. "It is strange to see several different rashes - and some of them are quite specific," lead researcher Dr Ignacio Garcia-Doval told the BBC.

Coronavirus updates LIVE: 22 new cases in Victoria, 19 linked to Cedar Meats cluster; PM will not back down on schoolsBREAKING: Victoria has seen a spike in COVID-19 cases, with 22 new people diagnosed Sunday. That same day saw 13,000 tests being undertaken in the state, the biggest day of testing so far, Premier DanielAndrewsMP says.

DanielAndrewsMP So you're saying the MORE who get tested, the MORE will show up with the COVID-19 boogeyman? Well fuck me. See why the psychopaths in charge want to reopen schools now? GovernmentIsTheVirus Scamdemic Plandemic ControlledEconomicDemolition 1984IsHere DanielAndrewsMP So if my maths is correct 22 cases from 13,000 tests = an infection rate of 0.16%.
