To prevent faecal SARS-CoV-2 transmission, a group of experts proposed assessing potential donors for the presence of typical COVID-19 symptoms within 30 days prior to donation. It certainly demands for studies on (a) the pathogenesis and impact of direct viral damage of the whole digestive system; and (b) factors contributing to COVID-19-associated diarrhoea with special emphasis on the gut microbiome and anti-diarrhoea management.A special focus should be directed on the role of the digestive system in transmitting the infection, on how to reduce the length of infectiousness, and on which precautions to be taken with regard to this matter.
