During the Covid-19 pandemic attempts have been made to manage patients with neurological symptoms remotely without a neurological examination.

To determine the prevalence of neurological signs we prospectively assessed 101 consecutive patients who were a referred to a general neurology clinic.

Three patients did not attend, leaving 98 patients (58 female, 40 male, mean age 51.0 years, standard deviation 19.9 years.

37 patients had neurological signs. (Cognitive impairment n=3, spastic tetraparesis n=1, spastic hemipa- resis n=2, hemianopia n=1, ataxia n=1, gait apraxia n=1, postural tremor n=2, bradykinesia and rigidity n=9, functional tremor n=4, anosmia n=1, combined upper and lower motor neuron signs, n=2, radicular distribution numbness n=1, distal symmetrical weakness and hypoaesthesia n=5, peripheral nerve hypo- aesthesia n=2, fatigability and lid lag n=2.)

Our data showed that a large proportion of general neurology patients had neurological signs.
