COVID-19-associated blood plasma inflammatory factors do not affect blood-brain barrier, study shows

It is now well documented that the coronavirus outbreak triggered a global health crisis. In this study, researchers wanted to know whether blood-brain barrier impairment contributed to the development of neurological problems during COVID-19 progression, and to what extent.
