I’m not sure if the stomach would get rid of all of the virus, otherwise, why is diarrhea and loose stools a not uncommon symptom?

But now, researchers are warning that another less-common symptom may be more prominent than doctors once thought: diarrhea.
A new study published Wednesday in The American Journal of Gastroenterology claims that digestive issues—like diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain—may be more common in those with COVID-19 than was once thought, with up to half of patients diagnosed with the disease in the study issuing complaints of those issues. Also important: Compared to study patients without gastrointestinal issues, those who had GI complaints had a higher risk of mortality.
