LOSS OF SMELL & TASTE

I can’t smell or taste anything.
I have felt like this for nearly 2 days now.
My sinuses feel clogged up but no other symptoms otherwise.
Strangely enough my DP says the same but also no other symptoms except slight onset of the symptoms of a cold.

Should I be concerned at all? Covid-19??

Yes, could be. My teen dd had this (about day 8 now and her senses are still not back to normal).

We all had fever/cough apart from one of us who just had loss of taste for 1 day. (Not confirmed as CV but very likely.)

Treat it as Covid-19 and self-isolate. Loss of smell and taste has been stated to be something many people with CV have suffered.

I'm still not tasting or smelling fully after a complete loss, which started last week after other symptoms.

Not had any classic symptoms of CV19 that we're told to look out for. Have been coughing but it's not persistent. Felt warm & flushed at the start of symptoms but nothing that lasted or became too feverish.

Myself, dh & dds all had achiness, slight sore throat & all lost our taste & smell. Apart from those symptoms, that we all experienced, we've had different ones of differing severity. I've been the worst in how I felt & am just feeling better today after about a week & a half.

No nasal congestion so that hasn't been the reason for loss of senses.
