As a part of global health care system we are now facing an unprecedented increase in the number of COVID positive patients. While the SARS-CoV2 continues to expand its reach, newer information gets reported every day. The phenomenon of acro-ischemia in patients testing positive for SARS-CoV2 has started gathering attention within the medical community. Also, with increased need for tracheostomy HCWs (health care workers) are constantly at a high risk of aerosol exposure. We report a case of a critically ill, late detected, COVID positive male, with dermatological signs who landed in a tracheostomy. We aim to highlight the importance of high index of suspicion and early detection that would make a significant difference.
