与流感或寒冷不同,无拥堵的气味或口味的丧失可能意味着COVID-19。 Loss of smell or taste without congestion may signal COVID-19, unlike flu or cold.

一名全科医生将失臭或口味确定为一种主要症状,可能把COVID-19与流感或普通感冒区别开来,特别是在没有鼻腔堵塞的情况下。 A general practitioner has identified loss of smell or taste as a key symptom that may distinguish COVID-19 from the flu or a common cold, especially when occurring without nasal congestion. 虽然咳嗽和疲劳症等症状重叠,但气味或口味的这种具体变化更能说明COVID-19。 While symptoms like cough and fatigue overlap, this specific change in smell or taste is more indicative of COVID-19. NHS还列举了呼吸短促和持续干咳等迹象,在COVID-19中更为常见。 The NHS also lists shortness of breath and a persistent dry cough as signs more common in COVID-19. 专家建议进行检测并谨慎行事,以防止传播,特别是在呼吸道疾病广泛流行的冬季。 Experts advise testing and caution to prevent spread, particularly during winter when respiratory illnesses are widespread.
