新冠病毒通过咳嗽和打喷嚏散布到空气中的飞沫，或是被新冠病毒污染的物体来传播。

People who are infected can also have traces of the virus in their faeces, although it is not yet clear whether this might be another way to pass the disease on to others.

在新冠病毒感染者的粪便中也能检测到病毒，不过尚不清楚病毒是否也能通过粪便传播。

Scientists around the world are testing sewage and wastewater to determine how some people might have become infected with coronavirus.

世界各地的科学家正在测试下水道的污水和废水，以确定某些人是如何感染新冠病毒的。

Other viruses can be spread by poor toilet hygiene, known as faecal-oral transmission.

其他病毒可以通过不良的如厕卫生习惯来传播，也就是所谓的粪口传播。

As water pours into the toilet bowl during a flush, it strikes the side, creating turbulence and droplets. The droplets are so small they typically float in the air for more than a minute, according to study author Ji-Xiang Wang from Yangzhou University, China.

该研究报告的作者、来自中国扬州大学的王吉祥（音译）写道，在马桶冲水时，水流涌进马桶内会撞击侧面，引发湍流和飞沫。这些飞沫非常小，通常会在空气中悬浮超过一分钟。

Dr Bryan Bzdek, from the Bristol Aerosol Research Centre at the University of Bristol, said although there was no clear evidence that coronavirus might spread in this way, it made sense to take precautions.
