    Document: Since the latest study reported the finding of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in patient faeces 11 and single cell analysis revealed the digestive system as a potential route for the virus infection, 12 it is theoretically plausible that a portion of patients may present with GI tract symptoms. We should be very cautious about this speculation since the outpatient centres of GI endoscopy may become high-risk places. More formidably, doctors serving in these centres may behave less vigilantly, with lower levels of protective personal equipment compared with those doctors working in clinics serving those with fevers, unknowingly putting the GI practitioners under high exposure risk. Therefore, in this study, we provide the first report on the epidemiological, clinical and virological characteristics of patients with COVID-19 with GI symptoms outside Wuhan, which is helpful for disease control and medical staff protection.
