Do new crowns lose their sense of taste?

New Crown pneumonia may cause a person to lose their sense of taste. Neocoronavirus invades the human respiratory system and can be transmitted through airborne droplets. When the virus invades the mucosal cells of the upper respiratory tract, it may affect the olfactory cells because the inflammation destroys the taste receptors and affects the functioning of the sense of taste leading to hyposmia or loss of the sense of taste, and in some cases, people may be left with the sequelae of hyposmia. Most people with neocoronal pneumonia do not have symptoms of loss of taste and some are asymptomatic infected individuals. Most people with neocoronavirus pneumonia experience fever and malaise, dry cough, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, diarrhea, cough and chest tightness. During the epidemic period of the new coronavirus, if you feel the loss of taste or accompanied by fever, cough, sneezing, runny nose, diarrhea symptoms should be timely nucleic acid test, to avoid masking the disease, to raise awareness of prevention.
