Big box stores will be allowed to open for sale of essential goods only.
One in three COVID-19 patients in U.S. developed a neurological or psychiatric condition, study finds
A study of more than 236,000 people in the United States who contracted COVID-19 last year has found that one in three developed a neurological or psychiatric condition and one in 50 of those who became seriously ill received their first diagnosis of dementia within six months.
The most common conditions were anxiety and mood disorders, which occurred in 17 per cent and 14 per cent respectively of those studied. Among patients admitted to intensive care, the researchers found that 7 per cent suffered a stroke and almost 2 per cent developed dementia – which could have been present before COVID-19 but went undiagnosed. They added that more study is needed to fully establish the link between COVID-19 and dementia.
