Abstract
The extreme disease COVID-19 (coronavirus disease of 2019), which causes coronavirus, started in Wuhan city led to more than 4 million human deaths around the world. It is spread between humans by respiratory drizzle or direct contact. On the other hand, there are primary concerns about its spread by fecal through dirty behavior insects such as cockroaches. Several researchers approved that COVID-19 can be transmitted from a contaminated environment through fecal and direct contact by touching contaminated surfaces. Thus, contacting or feeding on human feces by any organism such as cockroaches may support COVID-19 transmission. This paper gives a brief overview of the mechanical transmission possibility of cockroaches to COVID-19 in two ways. Further studies on the current topic are therefore recommended.
