The clinical signs of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) can be heterogenous because of the diversity of potential organ involvement. We describe a 58-year-old woman who developed new-onset dysarthria and hemiplegia and was found to be COVID-19-positive. This is among the first cases of COVID-19 presenting solely with focal neurologic deficits.
