Loss of taste have been added to the UK's list of coronavirus symptoms that people should look out for and self-isolate with.
That's got to be a big worry for celebs...

I did wear a tank top and flares during the lockdown, should I go for a check up?

I’ve started doing more cooking and was disappointed when I misheard head office and thought she said my dishes should be Cordon Bleu, in fact she said cordoned off

If you watched todays (18th May) daily UK Government Corona Virus brief there was a question posed by a journalist about this very subject. Then followed an excellent explanation given by Professor Van - Tam as to why the U.K. did not put “loss of taste/loss of smell” at the forefront of the symptoms for Covid 19. Made complete sense.
Indeed the WHO had a very long list of symptoms for Covid 19, many of these symptoms were that which might be experienced if you had other viruses. Therefore a big long list of symptoms is not helpful, just confusing.
Personally I trust our scientific and medical experts to get it right.

It's totally true that the first sign that I have caught something is that my taste buds are impaired - I can only taste the bitter profile of beer. So it's not really a helpful diagnostic symptom.
