Transmission of SARS-CoV-2: an update of current literature 2020-07-07 .txt text/plain 4469 232 47 To date, many studies have discussed that the rationale behind its transmission potential is that viral RNA has unexpectedly been detected in multiple bodily fluids, with some samples having remained positive for extended periods of time. In this evidence-based comprehensive review, we discuss various potential routes of transmission of SARS-CoV-2—respiratory/droplet, indirect, fecal-oral, vertical, sexual, and ocular. Additionally, studies have noted that its fecal-oral transmission potential may lie in the fact that prolonged viral shedding can occur in fecal matter-one case reported an asymptomatic COVID-19 patient experiencing viral detection in the stool for up to 42 days, while nasopharyngeal sampling was negative [31] . To oppose, in a retrospective review of nine COVID-19 pregnant mothers who underwent cesarean section, six patients had samples of amniotic fluid, cord blood, neonatal throat swab, and breastmilk samples tested for SARS-CoV-2, and all were negative [43] . ./cache/cord-271781-cfv0ta10.txt ./txt/cord-271781-cfv0ta10.txt
