Neurosurgeon finds COVID-19 can travel to the brain and cause encephalitis

Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Neurovascular Surgery Chief Dr. Pascal Jabbour became alarmed when doctors found that relatively young patients with COVID-19 were developing unusual blood clots and having strokes. Then he and his colleagues also noticed that the virus seemed to be able to infect the brain itself, causing encephalitis. Today on KYW In Depth, Dr. Pascal Jabbour talks about his team's findings on COVID-19 patients who have strokes, the theories on how the virus travels to the brain, and being a surgeon during a deadly virus pandemic.
