During the study period, 217 samples (nasopharyngeal swabs) were collected in our consultation: 95 patients (44%) had a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR confirming the infection by COVID-19 and 122 patients (56%) had a negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR. Outpatients presenting with dysgeusia and/or anosmia may be considered as patients infected with COVID-19, until microbiological confirmation has been obtained (as they have a high pre-test probability to be positive for SARS CoV-2 RT-PCR).	./cache/cord-339278-9luefzyo.txt	./txt/cord-339278-9luefzyo.txt
