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 delineate cutaneous manifestations of COVID‐19, some of which may represent adverse cutaneous drug reactions, and skin changes associated with COVID‐19 lifestyle alterations in patients and health care workers. We review COVID‐19 from both a dermatologic and public health perspective.
