I can able to sense the taste of sweet, sour and bitter. but i can't able to recognise other taste and smell. is these are the signs of corona.? i'm also having cold and runny nose?

Tasting salty bitter sour is through your tongue. Flavor of food and smell is through your nose. Corona can cause issues with the latter but you should get tested if you have suspicion.
