A woman wearing personal protective equipment stands in front of a graffiti painted on Lviv emergency hospital wall, to thanks the medical staff and healthcare fighting against the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus on June 30, 2020. Genya SAVILOV / AFP.“What I miss most is the smell of my son when I kiss him, the smell of my wife’s body,” says Jean-Michel Maillard.

“Anosmia cuts you off from the smells of life, it’s a torture,” says Maillard, president of anosmie.org, a French group designed to help sufferers. And it is not just the olfactory pleasures you lose. He points out that people with anosmia are unable to smell smoke from a fire, gas from a leak, or a poorly washed dustbin.

Now the new coronavirus has been added to that list, says Corre — with the symptom alone allowing a diagnosis of COVID-19 in some cases. “According to the first numbers, around 80 percent of patients suffering from COVID-19 recover spontaneously in less than a month and often even faster, in eight to 10 days.”

One cortisone-based treatment has proved effective in treating post-cold instances of anosmia and offers some hope, says Corre.
