Coronavirus, UK adds loss of smell and taste to symptoms list

Until now, only a fever and cough were triggers for people to shut themselves away in self-isolation in case they had and could spread the infection.  Ear, nose and throat doctors had been warning for weeks that more symptoms should be included.  Scientific advisers told the government to update the advice.  If you or someone you live with has any of these symptoms - a new, continuous cough, fever or loss of smell or taste (also called anosmia) - the advice is stay at home for seven days to stop the risk of giving coronavirus to others.  Cough and loss of smell or taste can persist after seven days. You do not need to keep self-isolating after seven days, unless you have a high temperature or are unwell, says the advice.  Loss of smell and taste may still be signs of other respiratory infections, such as the common cold. Experts say fever and cough remain important symptoms of coronavirus to look out for.
