ABSTRACT: There have been reported a large number of neurological symptoms in CoV-2 infected patients after the COVID-19 outbreakwas declared in January 2020. Cases reports as well as series of COVID-19 patients have shown a wide variety of neurological symptoms such as stroke, encephalomyelitis, polyradiculoneuropathy and other neurological conditions. Despite the fact, a high incidence of neurological symptoms have been reported during theCOVID-19 pandemic, the proportion of them in acute and in a more chronic phase has not been exactly described in most of the papers published until now. We described in this article the neurological symptoms in a series of COVID-19 patients during the acute phase of infection while they were admitted into the hospital and subsequently the persisting neurological symptoms showed in the following 6months in the outpatients’ evaluation once they were discharged from the hospital in the province of Catalonia-Spain from January to June of 2020.
