Abstract
Liang et al. report neurosensory dysfunction, such as hyposmia and hypogeusia, to be an early symptom of COVID-19 that could be used as a marker for early diagnosis (Liang et al., 2020). Data from our out-patient COVID-19 drive-through test center at the Research Center Borstel, Germany, support most of their findings. From March 19th until June 26th, 2020, we tested 1403 individuals (median age, 42 years; interquartile range, 30–54). All persons (42.6% male, 57.4% female) were tested by oropharyngeal and nasal swab for SARS-CoV-2 PCR.
