Abstract

The primary involvement is respiratory symptoms; but, the virus can also affect many other organs, such as the gastrointestinal tract and liver. The symptoms that are predominant would be anorexia and diarrhea. It was observed that the viral RNA could be detected in the stool, which is another mode of transmission and diagnosis. COVID19 has worse effects in patients with comorbidities, although there is not enough evidence in case of previous digestive diseases. Many guidelines for preventive measures were developed and implemented by organizations.
