A latest study suggests that long Covid-19 may cause some people to develop face blindness. The study was published in the journal Cortex.
The study focused on an unusual case of a 28-year-old woman Annie, who got infected with corona virus in 2020 and two months later she struggled to identify her relatives, including her father when she passed across him at a restaurant.
For the uninitiated, face blindness is a condition in which a person finds it hard to recognise people's faces.
The study found out that coronavirus can produce severe and selective neuropsychological impairment similar to deficits seen following brain damage, and it appears that high-level visual impairments are not uncommon in people with long Covid.
