Yes anosmia is a covid19 symptom...as you said you have done the test after a month of the onset of the symptoms...so you could also have recovered by that time..(so the test might be negative)
Covid19 related anosmia according to available studies...the average time for recovery of the smell sensation is 7 weeks...
And it is observed that the severity is more in people from 20-40 age group!!

Rt pcr sensitivity is 60% and there are other viral infection that can affect and mimic like Covid. So if u are non diabetic then anosmia reverts from 3 weeks to 6 months. Keep nutritional supplements on.
