Paragraph 2
Researchers tested the
of a virus in two bathrooms. The virus was not able to harm
. They flushed one
with the lid up, and another with the lid down. After a
, they swabbed the surfaces in the toilet. They found no
differences in the quantities of the virus in the
bathrooms. They said the results "demonstrate that closing the toilet lid
to flushing does not mitigate the
of contaminating bathroom surfaces, and that
of all restroom surfaces may be
after flushing" to cut the spread of germs.
