In early 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic reached New York City, patients began presenting at hospitals within the Mount Sinai Health System with virus-associated anosmia. Although most of these patients regained their sense of smell as they recovered from the virus, approximately one-third continue to experience some degree of anosmia months later.
