Longitudinal At Home Smell Testing to Detect Infection by SARS-CoV-2

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how to better identify people who have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (which causes COVID-19). Most people who have been exposed to the virus develop changes in their sense of smell (olfaction). We are interested in measuring smell function objectively via smell cards that test odor intensity, identification, and discrimination. The impact of smell testing to identify people at risk for SARS-CoV-2 will be maximized if objective and precise olfactory testing can be performed in the convenience of one's home. We will use results from this test to better understand the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and olfactory function and to learn whether the AROMHA longitudinal smell test is a reliable screening tool to detect smell loss in the context of possible COVID exposure.
