Health Check

Available for over a year

Matthew Fox, who is professor of epidemiology and global health at Boston University, says although the symptom of anosmia has been reported by some patients with Covid-19, it’s not the only reason people lose their sense of smell. Matthew also explains new data from China that suggests a link between Covid-19 and cardiac problems. (Image: A girl removes her mask to smell flowers in Skopje Credit: Reuters)
