Covid caused nerve damage in the nose in the sensory glands where smell is perceived. Good news is that lots of viruses do this so the body has evolved to regrow these nerves.

Why would a virus evolve to do that? So weird. When I had covid it gave me a metallic taste in my mouth. Also was weird.

Probably it's just attacking accessible cells, and nerve cells in the nose are relatively exposed.
