Britain's health authorities have added, "I lost my sense of smell and taste" to the official list of symptoms of Coffed-19, which includes high fever, persistent cough, and other symptoms.
The change, announced by Jonathan Van-Tam, the country's deputy chief medical officer, came after scientists advising the government decided that this might help reveal more cases, if added to the basic characterization of the case.
Van-Tam, who previously worked with Smith Klein Pecham, Roche and Avantis Pasteur companies, told reporters on Monday: "Our definition of the underlying condition, which for some time was a new persistent cough or fever, will now change to a new persistent cough, fever, or loss of smell." ".
He added that the phrase loss of the sense of smell will be known as the loss of sense of smell and taste, as the two are close to each other in relation to nerves.
Another possible symptom of Covid-19 is fatigue, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite, but it is not included in the definition of the underlying condition.
