{UAH} Coronavirus could be spreading through farts, says Doctor

An Australian doctor has said that farting could spread coronavirus especially if it comes from a patient who has been tested positive of the pandemic, TheSun reports.

One medic claimed people may be passing the deadly disease on to others through omitting bodily gasses, however, experts aren't so sure.

They say the chances of catching Covid-19 through farting is "tiny" and that Covid-19 is mainly transmitted between people through droplets spread from coughing and touching or shaking hands.

The doctor cited tests that revealed the virus was present in the faeces of 55 per cent of patients with Covid-19.

And medics have previously warned that farts contain tiny poo particles that can spread bacteria.
