Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, is a new deadly illness which can affect your lungs and airways. The NHS says the main symptoms to look out for to be able to identify the bug are fever and a dry cough.
In the UK, cases have surpassed 4,000, with coronavirus taking the lives of over 183 Brits, according to NHS England reports.
Now one of the country’s leading Ear, Nose and Throat consultants has revealed there is a new sign when detecting the illness in patients.
The British Association of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT UK) say asymptomatic patients – ones who do not have a fever or a cough – could show a loss of smell or taste.
