The loss of smell and taste is a common symptom of COVID-19, but it is not yet known why this occurs. It is thought that the virus may directly affect the olfactory nerve, which is responsible for the sense of smell, or that the inflammation caused by the virus may interfere with the nerve's ability to detect odors.
