• Research summary

  People who have experienced COVID-19 symptoms have reported to have suffered from tiredness, anosmia, muscular pain, fatigue, difficulty in coordination and confusion, amongst others. This suggests the SARS-CoV-2 virus affects the Central Nervous System as well as other systems in the body.
