Pour a measure of whisky, gin or rum into a glass

Then see if you can smell it. If you can smell it. 

and if you can taste it it's reasonable to assume

You are currently free of the virus

I tested myself nine times last night and was covid free

each time thank goodness 

I will test myself today because I have  developed a headache 

Which can also be a symtom

It is also documented that alcohol kills the virus especially if it is applied to the throat.
