Abstract
The implication of gastrointestinal infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its transmission remains to be fully understood. We studied 4 paediatric patients with several weeks of faecal excretion of SARS-CoV-2 RNA who had only mild symptoms. International consensus on isolation practices is urgently needed.
