Can flushing the toilet Spread corona virus?

A study points out that flushing a toilet generates “strong turbulence within the bowl” and expel aerosol particles containing viruses out of the bowl with a upward velocity of 5 m/second to the height of 106 cm from the ground

 when an infected person uses it, 

There will be a large amount of viruses within the toilet bowl and therefore, toilets are a source of infection 

Home isolation 

The patient usually remains at home and the same toilet is used by the members of the family.

What about public washrooms?

Large number of people use it and a positive case can cause a massive number of infections.


  

Precaution:

Close the lid before you flush

Toilet seats should be put down before flushing and seats should be cleaned before using it, since floating virus particles could be present on the surface. .

P.S.

No doubt, we should wear a mask but also be aware of the spread of corona from the toilets.
