Patients from a particular Spanish health area with SARS-Cov-2 infection were recruited to study the loss of smell. Olfactometry was performed using the Sniffin Sticks test. The following clinical symptoms were studied: Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) symptoms related to infection, duration of sensorineural loss, subjective and objective score of loss of smell, and its temporal relationship with other systemic symptoms.</div><div>For more details on the methodology, please read the related article.</div><div><br></div>
