Did the Chinese doctors whose skin turned dark / purple after coronavirus recovery experience a "Corona Discharge"?

Coronas can generate audible and radio-frequency noise, particularly near electric power transmission lines. Therefore, power transmission equipment is designed to minimize the formation of corona discharge.
Corona discharge is generally undesirable in:
-Electric power transmission, where it causes:
-Power loss
-Audible noise
-Electromagnetic interference
-Purple Glow
-Ozone production
-Insulation damage
-Possible distress in animals that are sensitive to ultraviolet light[6]
Electrical components such as transformers, capacitors, electric motors, and generators:
-Corona can progressively damage the insulation inside these devices, leading to equipment failure.
-Elastomer items such as O-rings can suffer ozone cracking
-Plastic film capacitors operating at mains voltage can suffer progressive loss of capacitance as corona discharges cause local vaporization of the metallization[7]
In many cases, coronas can be suppressed by corona rings, toroidal devices that serve to spread the electric field over a larger areas and decrease the field gradient below the corona threshold.
