An ongoing endemic in the China city of Wuhan in the year 2019, December developed a new strain of (SARS-CoV-2) termed Coronavirus 2 similar to SARS CoV. The emergence of this is not yet known so this endemic seems to be related to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) that are recognised to attack our respiratory system. After the increasing number of cases within the entire planet, World Health Organization revealed SARS-CoV-2 as the epidemic on March 11, 2020. It is seen that the novel virus has affected 140,780,297 people with nearly 3,015,798 deaths across the globe. Some people experience mild to moderate symptoms whereas some fall seriously ill. The infected patients show signs like dry cough, fatigue and fever. Apart from this smell and taste loss was also observed in nearly 70% patients. Hence, neurological manifestations have been observed during covid conditions.
