This is a case report of a 62-years-old male who developed neurological symptoms consistent with Guillain-Barre Syndrome following a hospital admission for Covid-19. As a new condition we feel there are learning points to be gained for clinicians managing patients recoveringfrom Covid-19 and discuss the symptoms, signs, and management taken in this case. The patient thankfully made a full recovery, but his case is discussed in the context of other cases in the literature. We feel that this case is different and notable as it had a longer latent period between Covid-19 resolution and Guillain-Barre Syndrome onset than any other cases reported.
