Recent reports have surfaced exploring the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 
through urinals and toilets

The novel coronavirus may spread throughout buildings through toilets and 
drainpipes, according to a published report in the journal Environmental 
International.

The virus was detected on surfaces of sinks, faucets, and shower handles 
in a bathroom in a 16th floor vacant apartment which was located right 
above an apartment unit where five people infected with coronavirus lived, 
according to the report that cited the Chinese Center for Disease Control 
and Prevention.

The study authors performed a simulation tracing aerosols in the apartment 
building to see if plumbing could be the source since reports have stated 
that novel coronavirus can be found in feces.

“The possibility of aerosol transport through sewage pipe after flushing 
the toilet at the 15th-floor restroom was confirmed by an onsite tracer 
simulation experiment showing that aerosols were found in the restroom of 
apartments on the 25th floor and 27th floor," the study authors stated in 
the published report.

Transmission through the shared elevator could not be ruled out, according 
to the researchers. In their report, they referred to a case in 2003 
during the SARS outbreak when Hong Kong residents in the Amoy Gardens 
private apartment building were infected by SARS.

An old report stated that faulty sewage pipes were responsible for sending 
virus-containing aerosols throughout the system in that outbreak.

“High concentrations of viral aerosols in building plumbing were drawn 
into apartment bathrooms through floor drains. The initial exposures 
occurred in these bathrooms. The virus-laden air was then transported by 
prevailing winds to adjacent buildings at Amoy Gardens, where additional 
exposures occurred," the old report stated. More than 300 of those 
apartment residents were infected by SARS.

Recent reports have surfaced exploring the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 
through urinals and toilets. The findings revealed aerosol particles were 
released in a cloud, potentially putting a person at risk.
