SARS-CoV-2 virus may have lingering effects on peripheral nerves

Adding to a growing body of evidence that, for many, problems related to COVID-19 linger longer than the initial infection, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that some people infected during the pandemic's early months experienced peripheral neuropathy - pain, tingling and numbness in the hands and feet - during and following their bouts with the virus.
