Loss of taste and smell are one among major and common symptoms of Covid 19. Person should be isolated and tested for Covid. If Covid report is negative still isolation is mandatory for 2weeks. If you neglect this thinking you have not been anywhere outside, you are doing more harm than benefit to your entire family.
