Go to a doctor especially when you don't have any nasal problem.

Sudden loss of smell and taste is a symptom of covid 19, go and get tested. Happened to my friend, and he eventually tested positive for the covid 19, and those were the only symptoms he had.

Go for test, though there are few other ailments that could cause these, but at this time Covid-19 is the most likely suspect. Pls self isolate and ensure to tell them (when u go for the testing) so that u don't expose more people incase it is Covid-19. Wish u well and quick recovery.

He should rather call or send someone to help visit the hospital to tell them to call NCDC for him because going to the hospital may put others at risk.

I just called the NCDC toll free number... They said they won't get me test just like that... They said what I had is a minor that since I'm not feeling sick that I don't need to go to NCDC for a Corona virus test... They said I should just go to the normal hospital for a medical check up.

While you wait for the call, boil ginger and garlic and inhale the steam through your mouth and nose, 4 times a day. Put lime or lemon into the boiled water and drink also 4 times a day. It will shorten the virus lifespan in you.

Please find the nearest Covid-19 test center and go get tested. Hopefully, from there some contact tracing can begin. Also ask those who live with you to go get tested as well.

it could be another flu, my cousin had exactly the same case last month, went to the hospital and was given some drugs. she regained her sense of smell and taste after taking the drugs. I forgotten the name of the illness the doctor called it.

Please try to make sure you confirm whether it is Covid-19 or not first. The lives of those around you could be in danger.

white vitamin c and warm water. desist from cold drinks. within two days you will be okay.
I was so scared for her life when she told me she was having those symptoms and visited the hospital in Kano. I thought she had contracted the coronavirus since Kano became an epicentre, but fortunately, it wasn't it.

It does that is why over 80,000 people here in the US are dead. 25% to 50% of those whp are infected show no symptoms at all(asymptomatic) and they are the ones who have probably done the bulk of the job spreading it around.
You at least showed two symptoms, so please shelter-in-place (your family as well) until you find a place to go get tested.
