- SARS-CoV-2: an Emerging Coronavirus that Causes a Global Threat (2020, background): “The viruses of SARS-CoV-2 were also detected in the stool samples in some patients but not all [18, 22] , suggesting that a possible fecal-oral transmission occurs [42] .”

A Review of Coronaviruses and Ocular Implications in Humans and Animals (2020, background): “CoVs have also been known to manifest in other regions apart from the respiratory tract, including the gastrointestinal tract and ocular tissues.(18,19) However, most CoV research is focused on the respiratory tract due to its life-threatening nature.”
- SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater: State of the knowledge and research needs (2020, neutral): “The fecal-oral route or aspiration have been postulated as potential exposure routes, although no cases of transmission via the fecal-oral route have been reported to date (CDC, 2020b; Y. Wu et al., 2020a; Yeo et al., 2020).”
