However, it is important to remember that Covid can still be severe for certain groups and it should be avoided where possible. Less common symptoms include: Skin rashes, changes in the mouth or tongue - such as ulcers or soreness - sore fingers or toes, diarrhoea and itchy eyes. It's OK to leave home after 5 days if you still have a mild cough or changes to your sense of smell. These can last for weeks after the infection has gone.
