Researchers and health experts across the world are still trying to wrap their minds around the elusive Covid-19 symptoms.
A leading epidemiologist from King’s College, London, claimed that there is a spike in cases where Covid-19 patients suffer from a rare symptom of oral ulcer.
However, this symptom has not been listed by the WHO (World Health Organization) as one of the Covid-19 symptoms.
Tim Spector, a professor at the King’s College, tweeted: “One in five people with Covid still present with less common symptoms that don’t get on the official PHE (Public Health England) list - such as skin rashes.”
