As per the diagnostic protocol of our local health authority, all COVID-19 cases had been confirmed by two RT-PCR tests targeting different regions of the RdRp gene in respiratory specimens. Screening faecal microbiota transplant donors for SARS-CoV-2 by molecular testing of stool is the safest way forward	./cache/cord-275760-hi9sj0d7.txt	./txt/cord-275760-hi9sj0d7.txt
