For the last couple of weeks lots of savory food items smell or have a slight car smoke taste, that's the only way i can explain it. i did have covid over new years so i am not sure if it's an after affect?

So called "long term" effects of COVID have neurologic and musculoskeletal effects after the acute phase of COVID-19 has passed. abnormalities of smell and taste are sometimes continued, but so far, there is no explanation to these additional components accurately discovered.

Abnormal smells can occur with COVID 19 and be a long lasting symptom.
