Seemingly recovered COVID-19 patients still have viral RNA in fecal matter: new study

The video discusses the potential of wastewater testing as an early warning system for coronavirus transmission in communities. It highlights a study from China's Guangdong province, which found SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the stool samples of hospitalized patients. The study involved 73 patients, with 53% testing positive in stool samples, even when respiratory samples were negative. The findings suggest possible fecal-oral transmission, as some patients remained infected according to endoscopy results.
