Despite the many neurological complications associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, it isn´t still clear whether these symptoms are the result of direct neural injury or due to some other reason. Currently, it appears that most of the neurological symptoms of COVID-19 are nonspecific and secondary to systemic disease.

To date, there is not enough scientific evidence to confirm that SARS-CoV-2 virus directly affects the central or peripheral nervous system in humans. This short article presents the implications of SARS-CoV-2 in the elderly with neurodegenerative disease, as well as the related mechanisms of action in the nervous system.
