You having loss of smell is more common with COVID; however to have a changed sense of smell is possible as an indication that the cells are inflammed and dysfunctional. You know you have COVID, try and take precautions not to spread it and if you have risk factors that could make it very serious like hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease find a medication center; rest and adequate fluids.
