Abstract In a household study, loss of taste and/or smell was the fourth most reported symptom (26/42 62%) among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case patients and had the highest positive predictive value (83% 95% confidence interval CI, 55%–95%) among household contacts. Olfactory and taste dysfunctions should be considered for COVID-19 case identification and testing prioritization.
