Vertigo is a condition that can make it feel like you or your surroundings are spinning, sometimes leading to a loss of balance, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Coronavirus 2019 or COVID-19 is a novel entity which had led to many challenges among physicians due to its rapidly evolving nature. Vertigo or dizziness has recently been described as a clinical manifestation of COVID-19.
So, Are dizziness and vertigo COVID-19 Symptoms? and why?
Currently, neither the CDC or WHO list dizziness as a symptoms of COVID_19.But the CDC does note that it's list does not include "all possible symptoms" .
On other hand some research has linked vertigo to COVID_19. In fact ,a review of research published in the Ear ,Nose,Throat Journal called dizziness " one of the main clinical manifestation of COVID_19.
Also, as almost all viral diseases can affect cns, people who already suffer of vertigo can maybe refer this as a covid symptom. Or, those who present encephalitis as well
Because covid_19 virus attack different organs and system after viremia the virus localised inCNS and cause both dizzeness and vertigo.
This expection based my virological infòrmations about the pathogenesis of coronaviridae family.
Vertigo or dizziness has recently been described as a clinical manifestation of COVID-19. Countless studies, emerging daily from various parts of the world, have revealed dizziness as one of the main clinical manifestation of COVID-19. For a closer and a more detailed version, kindly peruse:

El virus puede afectar estructuras del sistema nervioso central y periférico, relacionadas con la fisiología del sistema vestibular y del equilibrio. Por ejemplo, han descrito numeros casos de neuritis vestibular.
dizziness is found to be most common neurological manifestation of COVID-19 ,Dizziness was proposed to occur ensuing the neuroinvasive potential of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19. Baig et al postulated that the virus enters the neural tissue from circulation and binds to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors found in the capillary endothelium Apart from that, direct invasion, hypoxia, hypercoagulopathy, as well as immune-mediated insult were among the postulated mechanism of neuroinvasion leading to dizziness.
