I personally know multiple people that got COVID-19 earlier this year (March/April) with mild symptoms, however their smell/taste is STILL impaired today. One told me he believes his olfactory senses are about 70% recovered, 5 months later. He's lost weight from losing the desire to eat, which is terrifying. Hopefully it's just a matter of time and they recover fully - there's a lot about the virus we still don't fully understand, and there is a chance of permanent effects even with mild symptoms.
