This is an interesting story..
Why hasn't the UK listed loss of smell as a symptom of Covid-19?
At first Dan, 23, dismissed his stuffy nose as hay fever, but when he couldn't taste his beans on toast, he began to worry he had come down with Covid-19.
But when he called the NHS helpline, 111, he was told there was no problem as he didn't have a cough or a high temperature.
"They were obviously reading off a script and they said, 'You're good to go back to work,' which I felt a bit funny about," Dan says. "To have suddenly lost my sense of smell and taste when I work with some patients who have coronavirus felt like too much of a coincidence."
Ignoring this advice, he began self-isolating, as did the rest of his family, including his mum, a podiatrist whose clients include vulnerable elderly people, and his sister, an intensive care nurse at a children's hospital.
Meanwhile Dan's manager arranged a coronavirus test for him - and a few days later it came back positive.
"Based on government advice alone, I would have been back at work, going from patient to patient and potentially giving them coronavirus," says Dan.
