Why do you have to close the toilet seat after visiting the toilet?
In some cases, viruses also end up in the stool. When you flush after a big errand, droplets containing the virus can escape from the toilet. That is why it is better to close the glasses before flushing. This is not only necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19 but is also useful to prevent the spread of other infections from the intestine.
