Lead researcher for the study, Rachel Batterham, said: Our findings show that losing the sense of smell or taste is a very reliable indicator of the likelihood of a person being infected with the “Covid-19” virus, and if we want to limit the spread of this epidemic, governments around the world must now consider it a major criterion.
