Abstract
Currently, COVID-19 is unquestionably becoming a universal problem and for the predictable forthcoming. It has aroused an alarm concerning the spread and infects humans worldwide. In COVID-19, Olfactory and taste disorders (OTDs) are newly testified disorders and have been hypothesized that oral and nasal tissues possibly encompass host cells of SARS-CoV-2. Researchers have concluded that hyposmia or anosmia (decrease or loss of smell) and ageusia (loss of taste) is a key indicator that a person who else gives the impression that he is healthy is carrying the virus and possibly be spreading it to others. Hereby, this article gives an insight review of these indicators.
