Can the New Coronavirus be transmitted through feces?

  The possibility of fecal-oral transmission of novel coronavirus exists, but even if it exists, it can be controlled. As long as people pay attention to personal hygiene and wash their hands before and after meals, fecal-oral transmission is relatively easy to cut off.  In daily life, chlorinated disinfectants (e.g., 84 disinfectant) can be used to clean toilets and to keep sewers clear to avoid possible fecal transmission of the new coronavirus. While reminding the public to strengthen protection, the isolation of neo-coronavirus from patients’ feces and further strengthening the monitoring of fecal samples of neo-coronavirus patients during treatment are of great importance for public health safety.
