"Face blindness," or the inability to recognize faces, may be a rare symptom of long COVID, a new case report suggests. 

A case report published in March in the journal Cortex suggests a possible link between long COVID and selective face recognition problems, but, for now, it's unclear if people other than the report's subject have developed the condition after a bout of coronavirus infection.
