The corona pandemic has created an uproar all over the world and people are terribly scared of it. Now some UK government ministers have privately expressed concern that farts can also spread the corona virus. This claim has been made by the local media there www.mirror.co.uk.

According to the report, the ministers have pointed to evidence that suggests that an infected person farting in a confined space can spread the Kovid-19 infection in the air.

Although the investigation has revealed that the virus may be present in the stool of an infected person, but medical science has not yet confirmed that corona infection can be spread even if an infected person farts.


A minister, who did not wish to be named, told the Telegraph newspaper that evidence had been found in Australia of a "genomically-linked tracing connection" between the two men from a toilet room and that they had obtained this information from a credible book. However, scientists from the UK government have not prepared any research paper on this topic.

Another minister, who was not named in the report, said "the transmission is mostly through the mouth and in fact mainly through the nose", as COVID is a respiratory disease.

A spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was not aware of the claim that the virus could also be spread by farts. "We will review the new scientific evidence," the spokesman said.

Dr. William Schaffner, medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, told USA TODAY that there is no evidence yet of transmission of COVID through farts. He added, "It's very impossible."
