Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected healthcare at different levels and almost all medical specialties are impacted one way or the other. In this review we try to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on neurology in particular and suggest changes that can be adopted in different neurologic diseases for navigating this pandemic without compromising the healthcare delivery to this specific patient population.

Keywords: COVID-19 neurology; Nervous system; Neurological disorders; Stroke.
