From today, the general clinical case definition for COVID-19 has been updated to include loss of or change in smell or taste.

It is now: New continuous cough OR fever OR loss of/change in smell or taste.

Everyone, including health and social care workers, should self isolate if they develop a new continuous cough or fever or loss of/change in smell or taste. Your household should also self-isolate for 14 days as per the current guidelines and you should stay at home for 7 days, or longer if you still have symptoms other than cough or less of sense of smell or taste.
