Lost your sense of smell or taste with COVID-19?
Scientists from nearly 40 countries, including members of our faculty, have joined forces to launch a worldwide survey to gather evidence about a connection between a sudden loss of smell and COVID-19.
There is growing expert opinion that the large surge in reports of anosmia – a loss of smell and taste – suggests that it is a marker for the virus even in the absence of other symptoms.
The scientists believe data collected in the survey, which went live today in more than 20 languages, will help unravel how the virus is transmitted and how to prevent its spread.
The study is being carried out by the Global Consortium of Chemosensory Researchers (GCCR), which is made up of 500 clinicians, neurobiologists, data scientists, cognitive scientists, sensory researchers, and technicians from 38 countries. The group was set up in response to the wave of cases of anosmia and potential connection with COVID-19.
