摘要

描述了一种简单易行的、自我管理的嗅觉敏锐度测试，用于新冠肺炎感染的症状前适应症。本文提供了一种嗅觉阈值的简单测试，可以在家里进行，并对自己或共享隔离的其他人进行重新测试，并产生数字数据来表明在新冠肺炎大流行期间嗅觉能力是否下降，在疫苗研发出来并可用之前，立即意识到重要的化学感觉嗅觉的丧失，可以表明个人足够关注在必要的时间内自我安慰。新冠肺炎在社区传播的风险可以通过提高每个人的嗅觉意识，使用简单、廉价的措施来降低，本文建议©2020，新南威尔士皇家学会

Olfactory acuity test while pre-symptomatic for COVID-19

An easily-constructed and self-administered olfactory acuity test for pre-symptomatic indication of infection by COVID-19 is described This paper offers a simple test of smell threshold, which can be made and conducted at home and re-tested on oneself or others sharing isolation, and producing numerical data to indicate whether smell ability has decreased During the COVID-19 pandemic, and until a vaccine is developed and available, becoming aware immediately of a loss of the important chemical sense, olfaction, can signal sufficient concern in individuals to self-isolate for the requisite period The risk of COVID-19 spreading through communities can be reduced by promoting smell awareness by everyone, using simple, inexpensive measures, suggested in this paper © 2020, Royal Society of New South Wales

期刊介绍： The Society''s journal is one of the oldest peer-reviewed publications in the Southern Hemisphere. Much innovative research of the 19th and early 20th centuries was first brought to the attention of the scientific world through the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales. In the last few decades specialist journals have become preferred for highly technical work but the Journal and Proceedings remains an important publication for multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary work. The Journal and Proceedings is exchanged with many institutions worldwide. Currently issues are usually published around June and December each year, although a single December issue appeared in 2016.
