Dr. Allen Aksamit Jr., a Mayo Clinic neurologist, discusses potential neurological effects of COVID-19

Saying that there are overlaps in direct involvement of SARS-CoV-2 in nervous system and other systemic effects from respiratory or metabolic compromise

The direct effects of the virus entering the nervous system are lacking proves in study; the neurological manifestations are more likely consequences of the disease's effect on the body

Delirium can be a consequence of low oxygen to the brain— relatively infrequent

Mechanism of Stroke in CoV-19 patients is unclear; more related to pre-existing conditions that damage the blood vessels than direct involvement of SARS-CoV-2

Muscle damage occurs as a consequence of infection in critical illness

Guillain-Barre syndrome caused by immune reaction against the nerves rather than direct effect of the virus
