Open Access
|Sep 2023

Abstract

This article covers various aspects of COVID-19, also known as the new coronavirus. It is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The virus has rapidly spread globally and caused a pandemic. The primary mode of transmission is through respiratory droplets when an infected person talks, coughs or sneezes. While most people will experience mild or moderate symptoms, the disease can be severe and even fatal, especially for older adults and those with underlying health conditions. Additionally, the article discusses the immunopathology of SARS-CoV-2 and its effects on the immune system, as well as the neurological manifestations of COVID-19 and its impact on cerebrovascular disease.
