The intriguing part though is that recently reported studies have noted altered mental health in some COVID-19 patients showing symptoms like anosmia and ageusia thereby indicating a neuroinvasive nature of the virus. The neurological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 have been recently recognized from CT scan images and MRI scan of the brain of a patient who contracted COVID-19 and showed symptoms of necrotizing hemorrhagic encephalopathy. The brain reportedly, like most other organs, expresses the hACE2 considered to be the entry point of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses in humans and is therefore not immune to viral infection.	./cache/cord-303216-1pbuywz6.txt	./txt/cord-303216-1pbuywz6.txt
