| description | ABSTRACT Although neurocognitive dysfunction has been observed after infection by SARS-CoV-2, few studies have detailed these alterations or demonstrated their impact on daily life activities and work.

Furthermore, I discuss the efforts that I have made to recover from my infection since its beginning and the strategies adopted for living with persistent restrictions in terms of cognitive performance. |
