A good portion of those affected by Covid-19 may pass it without symptoms, but data gathered from the massively affected countries show that there are some hidden symptoms that you can understand.
Rhinologists in Britain have suggested that an immediate olfactory loss can be a "hidden symptom" of coronavirus, even if this is not accompanied by any other symptoms.
In South Korea, China and Italy, one third of patients who have tested positive for coronavirus have reported difficulty in smelling or tasting.
In South Korea, where mass testing is done, 30% of patients who tested positive had the main problem of loss of smell / taste.
Experts have said that many patients around the world who are infected with coronavirus have only developed this type of symptoms and not those typical of high fever, cough or difficulty breathing.
Cases of such "hidden symptoms" have also increased significantly in the US, northern Italy and France.
The lack of typical symptoms in such cases makes people not tested or isolated, thus contributing to the spread of the virus.
Younger patients are those who have experienced the most so far with immediate olfactory loss or taste problems, with no other symptoms, which proves that this virus is nose-focused.
