Coronavirus: Loss of smell and taste
Three people describe what it is like to lose sense of smell and taste for months

Host Nuala McGovern hears from people in Costa Rica, the US and the UK about how it has affected their lives - from coffee that has become too pungent to drink and steak that tastes metallic - to being unable to smell fresh paint or the natural scent of a child.
