Now discussing “BRAIN FOG’’ one of the major problems of COVID patients. Many scientists try to conduct clinical trials to help adults overcome COVID-19 BRAIN FOG.

What is “BRAIN FOG’’? 

It is a type of cognitive dysfunction (involved conscious intellectual activity like thinking or remembering), included neurological problems like:

1. Difficulty in concentration.
2. Extreme mental fatigue.
