Popis: The presence of live SARS-CoV-2 viruses in the fecal specimens and the positive results for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in gastrointestinal samples after respiratory specimens had become negative indicate that there may be a risk of transmission of the disease not only through the respiratory tract but also through the fecal-oral route. The study aim is to determine the time period that the SARS-CoV-2 virus remains in the fecal specimens of discharged COVID-19 patients to reveal the time interval in which the risk of transmission continues.
