Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Different Types of Clinical Specimens.

TLDR
Results of PCR and viral RNA testing for SARS-CoV-2 in bronchoalveolar fluid, sputum, feces, blood, and urine specimens from patients with COVID-19 infection in China are described to identify possible means of non-respiratory transmission.
Abstract
This study describes results of PCR and viral RNA testing for SARS-CoV-2 in bronchoalveolar fluid, sputum, feces, blood, and urine specimens from patients with COVID-19 infection in China to identify possible means of non-respiratory transmission.

Clinical Characteristics of 138 Hospitalized Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus-Infected Pneumonia in Wuhan, China.

TL;DR: The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected pneumonia in Wuhan, China, and hospital-associated transmission as the presumed mechanism of infection for affected health professionals and hospitalized patients are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and serological investigation of 2019-nCoV infected patients: implication of multiple shedding routes.

TL;DR: Investigation on patients in a local hospital who were infected with a novel coronavirus found the presence of 2019-nCoV in anal swabs and blood, and more anal swab positives than oral swabs positives in a later stage of infection, suggesting shedding and thereby transmitted through oral–fecal route.

Sampling and detection of corona viruses in air: A mini review.

TL;DR: It was found that SARS-Cov 2 was present in some air samples that were collected from patient's rooms in hospitals, which warrants its airborne transmission potential.
