The characteristics of the patient's disease course and recovery time for olfactory and/or gustatory dysfunctions (OD and/or GD) were collected by telephone interview. Two hypotheses might explain the low prevalence of OD and/ or GD reported in the Chinese study: First, the number of Chinese patients with COVID-19 who exhibit olfactory or gustatory disorders is indeed lower. Furthermore, all previous studies were limited to the acute phase with a short follow-up period, which might not reflect the recovery regularity of olfactory and/or gustatory impairment in patients with COVID 19. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and recovery time of olfactory and/or gustatory dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 infection who were discharged from non-intensive care units 3 months earlier in China. ./cache/cord-304872-hnxmtbrf.txt ./txt/cord-304872-hnxmtbrf.txt
