"Spanx and also I lost my taste and smell so food is kind of different right now," Yearwood laughed.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Yearwood added that she first realized she couldn't taste or smell when Brooks brought her coffee five days after contracting the virus.
"I love you, but did you put coffee in here?" she recalled questioning Brooks at the time.
"It was just like that," she said. She added that it's been "about eight weeks" since.

"Now it's all about texture. I can tell if something's spicy, that's about it," Yearwood said. "I love to cook so now when I cook I just ask Garth, tell me if it needs more salt and pepper. It's the weirdest thing."

According to a release provided by Brooks' rep in February, the pair were already quarantining "at home on the heels of a recent positive Covid test by a member of their team."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"The Queen and I have now tested twice," said Brooks. "Officially, she’s diagnosed as ‘on her way out of the tunnel’ now, though, which I’m extremely thankful for."
The delay in testing -- which came about a week after they were exposed -- was due to the "severe winter weather in Tennessee."
