Common symptoms of acute COVID-19 infection include fever, cough, headache, shortness of breath, and anosmia, i.e., partial, or complete loss of smell1 . Prior literature reported that COVID-19 patients (50%) developed sudden-onset anosmia prior to respiratory symptoms, thus making this an important symptom2 . The aim of this study sought to identify post-COVID-19 related olfactory dysfunction and recovery rates in children and adults in a community with a high incidence of COVID-19 infection.
