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.

Generally mild Covid19 infection won't last that long. Reason for loss of taste can be other conditions also.
