Recent onset loss of taste, that too persisting for more than 25 days, in a coronavirus situation, it's better to rule out coronavirus disease by appropriate test.

Covid 19: Loss of smell and taste can be long term. It might be associated with so many other viruses but unfortunately a lot more common with corona.  You will eventually  get it back.  It will be a good idea to get the covid 19 test done to know for sure.
