Possible COVID 19: The loss of smell may be one symptom of COVID 19, in addition to flu like symptoms. Monitor your temperature, drink fluids and rest. Self isolate and discuss testing with your physician. I would suggest a screening test for COVID 19 to guide the number of days of quarantine. Watch for sudden changes, shortness of breath and cough.
