Get checked for Covi: The loss of taste and smell is a very specific sign and strongly suggests Covid-19 infection. This does not mean you will get very sick; but if there is a clinic where you can be tested, get it done. Meanwhile, drink at least one glass of water every hour while awake, wear a mask, avoid ill or elderly persons, wash hands frequently, and if any shortness of breath, be seen immediately. Good luck!
