We assessed the distribution of SARS-CoV-2 at autopsy in 22 deceased persons with confirmed COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 was found by PCR (2/22, 9.1%) and by culture (1/22, 4.5%) in skull sawdust, suggesting that live virus is present in tissues postmortem, including bone. Occupational exposure risk is low with appropriate personal protective equipment.
我们评估了 22 名确诊 COVID-19 死亡患者尸检中的 SARS-CoV-2 分布情况。PCR（2/22，9.1%）和培养（1/22，4.5%）在颅骨锯末中发现了 SARS-CoV-2，表明病毒在死后组织中存在，包括骨骼。在适当的个人防护设备下，职业暴露风险较低。
