In the long list of clinical symptoms of COVID-19, ENT-UK (The British Association of Otorhinolaryngology) has recently identified anosmia-hyposmia and hypogeusia, respectively, the sudden loss of sense of smell and taste, as "significant symptoms" which were found even in the absence of other symptoms, so that they could identify otherwise hidden carriers of this highly contagious disease. In the present report, anticipation of anosmia and hypogeusia to respiratory symptoms seems consistent with the ENT UK hypothesis that loss of sense of smell (and taste) could be considered as a symptom of COVID-19 infection; and, if confirmed, these symptoms may represent markers or early signs of SARS-CoV-2 sufficient to trigger quarantine.	./cache/cord-340103-dc3wye9s.txt	./txt/cord-340103-dc3wye9s.txt
