Do we have evidence that ingesting infected tissue can transmit the disease? I thought the disease spread via inhalation of viral particles?

- Pyramus 6y agoYes, simply placing the infected tissue in your mouth can infect you. The exact role of fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is still unclear (in any case we do not eat one another) however we do know it is minor relative to respiratory droplets and aerosols.
