COVID-19 with dermatologic manifestations and implications: An unfolding conundrum

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has caused Coronavirus Disease 2019, widely known as COVID-19, now a pandemic with extraordinary infectivity, mortality, and fomite adhesiveness.

We review COVID-19 from both a dermatologic and public health perspective.
