A leading scientist has warned of a new symptom that would show if you have already had coronavirus.
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 other organs have their growth (ability to repair?) interrupted by covid?
I say BS. I had lines on my nails for yrs.
I noticed I had lines on my nails about 30 years ago. Maybe I’ve had COVID for 30 years.
I don’t have any lines on my nails, but I do have starch in my shorts. Am I ok?
We’ve probably ALL had China virus, with herd immunity being reached MONTHS ago.
If this assumption has any merit, anyway.
No transverse lines on mine.
Any transvestite lines on yours?
No. You probably have lines everywhere under your shorts, from scratching. ;D
Covid is not the only reason for horizontal nail ridges. Other illnesses can also cause it.

You LONG HAULER, you! Just kidding… the article is BS. With COVID, there is an ocean of BS spouting from attention seeking “experts”.
I can’t read the article, because I won’t agree to cookies; are the lines up and down the nails, or across?
Unless they are types of lines that dont correspond to other multiple potential problems that can cause lines in your nails, it would be dificult to conclusively say it was due to covid.
vertical lines are normal, especially as one ages.
This refers to horizontal ridges - going across the nail like speedbumps, as opposed to going down a nail
We’re all gonna die!
horizontal lines. The pix at the link shows both depressed lines and ‘speedbump’ like ridges
Use plenty of baby powder. You’ll be OK.
Everything is a symptom of COVID.
I have an idea, let’s just presume everyone is infected all the time even if they don’t have symptoms and quarantine the entire country.
Oh.... wait.....
Most of what I see and hear about COVID is BS. IMO, it’s been a Leftist joke for a long time.
I was told years ago they were arthritis lines.
I developed ridges on my big toe nails a few years ago...its just an age thing...
