Long Covid ages brain by 20 years - even mild coronavirus can lead to organ damage

The WHO has ended the health emergency, but the coronavirus is still circulating and remains dangerous. Researchers have already discovered that a mild case can cause serious complications even years after infection. Research is also continuing into the cause and treatment options for Long Covid. Many sufferers have memory and concentration problems. The symptom known as brain fog could even have an influence on the early development of forms of dementia, the results of a new study suggest. According to the researchers, the brain damage observed in Covid-19 patients corresponds to an ageing of the brain by 20 years.
