Self-test your sense of smell to help detect coronavirus
The Weizmann Institute has developed an online platform called SmellTracker that allows individuals to self-monitor their sense of smell to detect early signs of Covid-19. The platform uses a mathematical model to create an individuals unique olfactory fingerprint and guides users through an odor test to identify any sudden changes in smell perception. The test has already identified potential coronavirus cases that were later confirmed. The venture is backed by the Ministry of Defense and will be promoted in several countries. Additionally, the institute is distributing scratch and smell kits to confirmed coronavirus patients to map their sense of smell.

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have developed an online platform called SmellTracker that allows individuals to self-monitor their sense of smell to detect early signs of COVID-19 infection. The platform uses an algorithm to characterize an individuals unique sense of smell and can identify sudden changes in odor perception that may indicate the onset of the virus. The researchers have already identified potential coronavirus cases with the tool. The project is backed by the Defense Ministry and will be promoted in several countries. The online test is currently available in multiple languages.
