The latest symptoms of the new coronavirus include the appearance of impairment in the sense of smell and taste. Temporary loss of smell or taste is the main neurological symptom after infection with Neocoronavirus pneumonia. It is not clear exactly how Neocoronaviruses cause the loss of smell and taste, but some studies have suggested that it is because the viruses cause an inflammatory response, which leads to the loss of olfactory and gustatory neurons. The symptoms are usually temporary, however, and the senses of taste and smell usually improve or return within a few weeks. However, in some cases, it can take longer to recover. The loss of taste and smell is a clinical symptom that is not specific and does not occur in every infected patient. Most patients may only have cold-like symptoms such as cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and fatigue. Therefore, a positive nucleic acid test is needed to confirm the diagnosis of novel coronavirus infection. Tip: “New coronavirus pneumonia” and “new coronavirus pneumonia” mentioned in this article have been renamed to “new coronavirus infection” on December 26, 2022, as announced by the National Health Commission.
