Explanation:

‘Covid toe’ is a kind of rash being reported as a manifestation in some Covid-19 patients’ toes. In the aforementioned study, it was seen in 19 per cent of the cases and the researchers have likened it to pseudo-chilblain lesions. Of the 71 cases that had these pseudo-chilblains, 29 (41 per cent) had confirmed SARS-CoV-2, the virus strain that causes Covid-19. Chilblains are small, itchy, red patches that appear on the toes and fingers after a person has been exposed to the cold. A person with chilblains may see their toes and fingers swell up and become red. Hence all the statements are correct.
