With the rise in coronavirus case, across the world, a new report is currently going viral where doctors claim that people can pass COVID-19 virus to others through a fart.
A recent news report published in The Sun stated that a doctor claimed that people may be passing COVID-19 on to others through a fart. The report on this is "tiny" but Covid-19 is mainly transmitted between people through droplets spread from coughing and touching or shaking hands.
Meanwhile, Australian doctor Andy Tagg pointed out farting could cause coronavirus but after analysing a series of tests that will be taken from coronavirus patients. He also asserted that tests revealed the virus was present in the faeces of 55 percent of patients with coronavirus.
Currently, the doctors haven’t heard from the World Health Organisation (WHO) yet on this claim. Below are few tweets on the same along with a video:

Dr. K and Luke Tennant volunteered to fart on a petri dish.
There was no growth when the fart was filtered by trousers but with no barrier between agar and arse gut flora proliferated. pic.twitter.com/7wSEEBwS7N
