This phenomenon is known as the parozmia, which means "extrremation" of the sense of smell, and is more pronounced in young people and health workers, writes Sky News.
Otorinolaringologist, Professor Nirmal Kumar, says symptoms are very strange and unique.
Kumar was among the first doctors to identify anosmia, or the loss of the scent, as a symptom of the coronary infection in March.
He told the AP that some patients claim they smell fish instead of any other smell, and others smell burns even when there is no nearby smoke.
Kumar explained that COVID-19 is a <x0virus neurotropus”, which attacks nerve tissues and affects nerves at the tip of the nose, which is a shock to the nervous system.
