Yes, while in hospital in Jan 2021.
I was in hospital for non-Covid reasons, in an 'airy' open ward with only 6 spaced-out beds, but the usual plethora of hospital staff coming and going.
The patients were tested for Covid frequently and one day [Edit: By this time I had been in hospital for about 2 months, one of those in ICU - long story!] the Ward Manager let me know I had tested positive and I was wheeled off to a 'red' ward.
I was sent home after 2 weeks, but came back in a week later with a mild chest infection, so I had another 2 week stay for oxygen, observation and antibiotics.
My sense of taste was out of whack for about 6 months afterwards and many of the foods I enjoyed beforehand tasted 'rank'. I lived on mostly acidic things such as fruit, beetroot, prawn cocktails, tomatoes (OK, they are a fruit too); I couldn't stand any form of meat, bread, rice or plain pasta.
