Coronavirus spread through fart has recently become a topic of concern to netizens. However, WHO has already clarified that coronavirus is not airborne. In the wake of coronavirus pandemic, people resorted to social distancing to break the chain, but, people are now wondering whether they can be infected if they exposed to the farts of a person having the coronavirus infection.

WHO stated that “the virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air. They quickly fall on floors or surfaces”.

In view of this, the Beijing district disease control centre said that pants can prevent the spread of new coronaviruses through farts.

The Tongzhou district’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that unless farts affected by COVID-19 do not wear pants, farting cannot be used as a means of transmission of COVID-19. This is also possible only when a person closely inhales a large amount of gas passed by a patient who is not wearing pants

The total number of coronavirus cases across the world so far is 2,184,704. A total of 146,898 people have died and 553,227 coronavirus patients have recovered.
