You may have had a mild covid infection which could’ve gone unnoticed but it has affected your taste and smell nerves. You need to give it sometime to recover. It may or may not recover but you have to be patient and wait. Try to find food which tastes good to you now and eat more of that.

Do Jala Neti with warm saline to clean up the nasal passages. This will hasten the turnover of the olfactory epithelium with newer healthy cells replacing older infected ones.
