Highlights
We learnt that the transmission routes are via respiratory droplet, aerosols and by contact that may be indirect, which succinctly impose a remarkably high risk to the head and neck surgeons who often deal with aerosol-generating procedures
Olfactory dysfunction was identified in a substantial fraction of patients who suffered from COVID-19, with a prevalence of 47.85% worldwide.[3]
The idiosyncratic characteristics of smell disturbance attributed to COVID-19 include its sudden onset, transient duration, and in most cases, rapid recuperation

Smell deficit may manifest as a sole nasal symptom without concomitant rhinorrhea or congestion.[4]
