UK health chiefs have added loss of sense of taste or smell to the country's official list of coronavirus symptoms. In a statement, the top docs said: “From today, all individuals should self-isolate if they develop a new continuous cough or fever or anosmia. “Anosmia is the loss or a change in your normal sense of smell.
It can also affect your sense of taste as the two are closely linked. “We have been closely monitoring the emerging data and evidence on COVID-19 and after thorough consideration, we are now confident enough to recommend this new measure. “The individual’s household should also self-isolate for 14 days as per the current guidelines and the individual should stay at home for 7 days, or longer if they still have symptoms
