Coronavirus infection can persist in the bodies of the dead, while the ability of the virus to infect is also preserved.. This was reported on Thursday, December 15, by The New York Times, citing a study by Chiba University in Japan and the Hamburg-Eppendorf Medical Center in Germany.. In particular, German experts found that traces of COVID-19 remain in corpses for 17 days after death.. In turn, Japanese scientists, citing animal experiments, said that even dead bodies retain a significant amount of infectious virus..

Like in a zombie horror movie, the coronavirus can persist in the bodies of infected patients even after death.. At the same time, Japanese scientists stressed that the risk of spreading coronavirus from a living patient is much higher than the potential transmission from corpses.. Earlier, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that, according to the organization's experts, at least 90% of the world's population has already developed immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus..
