To better estimate the burden of smell and taste impairment during COVID-19 pandemic, we searched for the prevalence of these symptoms in subjects at high risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection, i.e. household contacts of mildly symptomatic home-isolated SARS-CoV-2-positive patients. We previously reported the prevalence of loss of the sense of smell or taste as well as other COVID-19 symptoms in a case series of 202 home-isolated mildly symptomatic confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection [8] . The prevalence of smell or taste impairment in household contacts of mildly symptomatic home-isolated SARS-CoV-2-positive patients was 1.5%, 22.3%, and 63.0% in subjects tested negative, non-tested, and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection, respectively. However, this study showed that smell or taste impairment is quite common in not-tested household contacts of mildly symptomatic home-isolated SARS-CoV-2-positive patients.	./cache/cord-269946-zb7gcw0m.txt	./txt/cord-269946-zb7gcw0m.txt
