Expert studies have found that people who previously suffered from Covid-19 could be living with a “silent killer.”
Researchers say they have found a reaction to the virus which has no symptoms but which can be slowly damaging a vital part of the brain. They have claimed there is a chance some people may be more at risk of brain disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's as a result.
However, they say although it is showing up as a potential future risk for those who have had the virus, it could also offer a possible treatment. The team was led by The University of Queensland and carried out tests on the brain's immune cells - "microglia".
