We all know that people have reported brain fog and other neurological issues after having COVID-19. But a new study shows some sobering news – COVID-19 infections may have serious long-term effects. Major findings include that COVID-19 infections may predispose individuals to developing irreversible neurological conditions that may increase the likelihood of strokes and the chance of developing persistent brain lesions that can lead to brain bleeding. The findings appear online in press in the journal Ageing Research Reviews.
