In 80% of Covid-19 infected people, the virus affects the olfactory mucosa. In our studies we have shown, that the virus attacks certain specific olfactory receptors . Normally the people recognise it, when odor sense is completely lost. If defined odors are presented in low concentrations, Genius5 smell tester can detect destruction of receptors some days before - it can be used to detect Covid-19 in the early stage. The smell tester is doing an automatic test routine, where 3 odors are presented to patient. Healthy persons recognize the odors correctly, while Covid-19 infected people have problems. Genius5 smell tester evaluates reaction times and correct assignment. As suistanable detection system with high testing capacity, it will help to allow healthy individual back to normal life.
