Covid Testing: Covid testing is now widely available. Symptoms vary from person to person, so the only way to know for sure is to take the test.

“Probably” not now: Certainly loss of taste can indicate a Covid infection, however since you quarantined 14 days you “should” no longer be contagious if that’s your only symptom. Loss of taste due to Covid can persist after infection. The only way to know is to get tested. There are other causes for loss of taste, so you should probably check with your Dr to find out the cause. Hopefully it is just temporary!
