Long Covid could leave people with 'face blindness', new study claims

A new study has found there might be a link between prosopagnosia, or face blindness, and Long Covid.

The research focussed on a 28-year-old woman who contracted coronavirus in March of 2020. Her case-study was published in the journal Cortex, and stated that the woman claimed that she was having a hard time identifying faces since first becoming ill.

However, it is important to mention the study includes data from just 50 patients. More extensive and wide-spread research would likely be required to confirm any links.
