Reply to comment by PunchYoPhase in SARS-CoV2 enters the brain through the olfactory nerve in rhesus monkeys, causing neuroinflammation. The virus spread further into the brain in aging animals. by andyhfell

From other research I have reviewed, it causes inflammation of the tissue surrounding the olfactory bulb, which deprives the nerves of oxygen. Nasal steroids have been effective at reducing inflammation, but it has to be treated before perosmia or anosmia sets in to avoid long term loss of smell.
