[2] [3] [4] Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 can also be transmitted through the saliva, and ACE2 has been detected on the mucosa of oral cavity, which is rich in epithelial cells. 4 Therefore, if saliva and feces are both capable of carrying the virus and ACE2 is expressed both in the glandular cells of rectal epithelia and oral mucosa, how can we be sure that sexual intercourse does not represent another way of contagion? 5 This means that the gastrointestinal tract may continue shedding the virus and that fecal-oral, or eventually sexual, transmission may be possible despite the apparent recovery.	./cache/cord-323241-1twnqr4k.txt	./txt/cord-323241-1twnqr4k.txt
