Bruising and lesions on the feet could be a sign of coronavirus, doctors in Spain suspect.

Patients with either purple chickenpox or chilblain-like marks on their toes have tested positive for the killer infection.

'Numerous cases' have been reported in Spain as well as Italy and France, as the disease continues to rage across Europe.

One of the first reported cases was a 13-year-old boy in Italy, whose lesions - initially thought to be caused by a spider bite - erupted and crusted over.
