The health minister said not being able to fully enjoy food and drink is one of the side effects of Covid-19. After becoming the first lawmaker to be diagnosed with the virus, she has been offering insightful updates on Twitter on how the sickness is affecting her. Ms Dorries said the illness means she is unable to enjoy something as simple as a cup of tea.
She said: “A side effect of #coronavirus for me is the fact that I have lost 100 percent of taste and smell.
“Absolutely zero of both, so weird.
“Eating and drinking warm or cold that’s all I can tell.
“No point in putting a tea bag in the water.”
Ms Dorries, 62, said "every muscle ached" after she came down with the sickness.
She has also been documenting her elderly mother's condition after she contracted coronavirus.
She said the 84-year-old is doing well and doesn't know why people are fussing over he.

"She was down and out for 24 hrs and then looked after me!"
On Wednesday Ms Dorries lashed out at "selfish" Londoners who were taking their laptops to cafes after being told to work from home.
Boris Johnson this week said anyone who can work from home should do so to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Many businesses in the capital had already sent staff home and had introduced other distancing measures.
But the MP for Mid Bedfordshire said she was told by one person that cafe business is booming.
She said: "People in London are working in cafes, not at home.
"One cafe owner tells me that takings have shot up to over double usual daily amount.
"This is not social distancing, it is irresponsible behaviour and the price to pay for such selfishness will be severe for us all."
Her warning comes as the number of Covid-19 cases in London shot past 900.
A total of 34 people in the city have died from the virus.
