The coronavirus, also known as SARS-COVID-19 was a global pandemic that created an enormous impact on the world. Some of which include the economy, isolation for long periods of time, and most importantly the health of the people. The COVID-19 has created long term effects on the central nervous system (CNS), respiratory system, and digestive system. The virus's major target is the respiratory system, with symptoms similar to a sinus infection, which causes serious respiratory disorders including pneumonia, ARDS, and sepsis, which can cause considerable damage to the body. Central nervous system damage may result in delirium, the three types of this are hyperactive, hypoactive, and mixed. In addition, some patients mainly present with digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, loss of appetite and so on. Currently, there are many ways to intervene and prevent the disease. This is achievable through following COVID-19 safety measures, so the disease won’t further spread. While there are still many challenges and shortages when it comes to COVID-19. Some of which include shortages with a weak healthcare system, research difficulties, healthcare equities, and vaccines. This paper mainly discusses the relationship between COVID-19 and different systemic diseases, and provides new ideas for finding effective prevention with different systems in the future.
