First of all, patients were asked for the onset of fever, cough, sore throat, rhinitis, muscle aches, headache, diarrhea, reduced olfaction, and a reduced sense of taste during COVID-19. To investigate factors related to reduced olfaction as well as to a reduced sense of taste two general linear models were used with explanatory variables of age, gender, TNSS, fever, cough, sore throat, rhinitis, and headache, respectively. In addition, fever, cough, sore throat, rhinitis, headache, and TNSS were also not associated with reduced olfaction or reduced sense of taste (p ≥ 0.05, respectively). Our study shows for the first time that both olfactory and gustatory dysfunction is very common in COVID-19 patients, with olfactory dysfunction even leveling the symptom 'cough' at > 70%.	./cache/cord-300550-l28tadhn.txt	./txt/cord-300550-l28tadhn.txt
