We report the finding of the SARS-CoV-2 genome in the corpse of an exhumed infected person, one month after her death. The viral gene targets were still present in her lungs and heart, however, the virus was no longer alive. Infectious risks from human corpses should be considered.
我们报告了在一名死后一个月被挖掘出来的感染者尸体中发现 SARS-CoV-2 基因组的结果。病毒基因靶标仍存在于她的肺部和心脏,但病毒已不再具有活性。应考虑人类尸体带来的感染风险。
