Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The spectrum of clinical manifestations ranges from asymptomatic to critical, life threatening. COVID-19 is known to be a multi-organ disease, not just the respiratory system. It also becomes obvious that neurological and psychological disorders that occur during the acute phase of infection can persist in the postmorbid period, which dictates the need for rehabilitation measures. This literature review is devoted to the analysis of data on the pathogenesis, clinic, rehabilitation of neurological, psychological manifestations of COVID-19 (neuro-COVID), prospects for further research.
