Abstract
In December 2019, unexplained cases of pneumonia emerged in Wuhan, China, which were found to be secondary to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-2019) outbreak, a pandemic. Neurological complications of COVID-19 are not uncommon. Neurologists are used to uncertainty; they were able to adapt to the rapidly evolving changes while fighting this pandemic. Despite the negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on nearly all medical specialties and Neurology is no exception, it has served as a catalyst in advancing a tool that has long been struggling to thrive, telemedicine.
