| Core Tip |
The pandemic caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health problem. Transmission via the respiratory tract and the clinical manifestations related to that organ system are well known to the scientific community. In addition, current knowledge about the viral infection strongly suggests a possible transmission of the SARS-Cov-2 via the fecal-oral route. In addition, a possible spread of the virus to sources of drinking water, sewage, and rivers as well as the possibility of viral transmission in shared toilets become a major public health problem, especially in underdeveloped countries. |
