According to a new Chinese study, pubic toilet flush can potentially spread coronavirus. According to the researchers at the Yangzhou University in China, flushing a toilet generates “strong turbulence within the bowl" that can probably expel aerosol particles containing coronavirus out of it and can spread to the next bathroom user.

The researchers explain that the water from a flushed toilet could spray up into the air as high as three feet. Even after flushing (35-70 seconds) after the last flushing, the diffused particles continue to climb causing a huge risk to human health. "Some 40 per cent to 60 percent of the total number of particles can rise above the toilet seat to cause large-area spread, with the height of these particles reaching 106.5 cm from the ground," wrote the authors," said study author Ji-Xiang Wang of Yangzhou University.
