No taste and no smell...is it covid??

2021-10-14 07:55:26
From past 6 days I'm not getting any taste of food that I eat and cannot get smell of any food items and other items like talcum powder or napthaline balls. I have taken both doses of COVID vaccination. I don't have any fever, headache or body temperature or shivering. Is the above situation a symptom of covid..? Should I need to do an Rtpcr test..? Please advice.
