Summary:Severity of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID19) is presented with respiratory distress. We present a case of a 29-year-old male who was not presented with typical symptoms of COVID19 at the time of referral but loss of consciousness. The importance of testing patients without typical symptoms for coronavirus infection and multi-system manifestation of the virus is presented in this case. Severe drop in oxygen saturation in asymptomatic patients can lead to encephalopathy. •More than 30 million cases of coronavirus infection are reported globally.•Severe impairment in the oxygen levels can lead to the encephalopathy.•Loss of consciousness in otherwise, asymptomatic COIVD19 patients.
