We have read with interest the paper by Li and colleagues about the neurotropism of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), responsible of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), recently discovered in China and now worldwide spread.1 In particular, the paper focuses on the role of the nervous system involvement in causing the respiratory failure.

The rehabilitation approach can be independent of the setting: hospital, intensive care unit (ICU), and home. 6
