Researchers in China have found that two different types of the new coronavirus could be causing infections worldwide.
In a preliminary study published Tuesday, scientists at Peking University's School of Life Sciences and the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai found that a more aggressive type of the new coronavirus had accounted for roughly 70% of analyzed strains, while 30% had been linked to a less aggressive type.
The more aggressive type of virus was found to be prevalent in the early stages of the outbreak in Wuhan — the Chinese city where COVID-19 was first detected late last year.
But the frequency of this type of virus has since decreased from early January.
Hi Dr.
The risk of catching the COVID-19 virus from the faeces of an infected person appears to be low.
There is some evidence that the COVID-19 virus may lead to intestinal infection and be present in faeces. Approximately 2−10% of cases of confirmed COVID-19 disease presented with diarrhoea (2−4), and two studies detected COVID-19 viral RNA fragments in the faecal matter of COVID-19 patients (5,6).
However, to date only one study has cultured the COVID-19 virus from a single stool specimen (7). There have been no reports of faecal−oral transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
Hi Dr.
According WHO:
The risk of catching the COVID-19 virus from the faeces of an infected person appears to be low.

Coronavirus infects GIT and causes diarrhea but it is not spreading through feces.

Detection of viral sequences in stools and gastrointestinal manifestations of the disease indicates a possible oral-fecal transmission and this route of transmission could be a potential risk.

No. It is a respiratory conditions only spread via membranes ie eyes, nose and mouth

COVID-19 virus has been detected in blood and stool, as had the coronaviruses responsible for SARS and MERS (14,16,19-21). The duration and frequency of shedding of COVID-19 virus in stool and potentially in urine is unknown.

it stays on surfaces based on the scientific analysis. If so, can then transfer from one side to another or from one surface to another.

Yes, that's the reason that patients' faeces are treated with chlorine for an hour before being disposed of in the city's sanitary system., University of Zeihan COVID 19 Manual of diagnosis, prevention and treatement.
You know ,that the virus may infect GIT due to presence pf ACE2 receptor , make possibility transformed through feces but when the hands which contaminated then touch of nose or eye etc

The virus that causes COVID-19 has been found in the feces of some patients diagnosed with COVID-19. However, it is unclear whether the virus found in feces may be capable of causing COVID-19. There has not been any confirmed report of the virus spreading from feces to a person. Scientists also do not know how much risk there is that the virus could be spread from the feces of an infected person to another person. However, they think this risk is low based on data from previous outbreaks of diseases caused by related coronaviruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).

i dont think that because the enzymes and the media of digestive system can kill the virus, if present in feces it will be inactive form.
Recently, cases of fecal–oral transmission of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the USA and China, indicating that the virus can replicate in both the respiratory and digestive tract. Please read this work
That is one of the reasons why patients' faeces are treated with chlorine at 3000 per liter and the sewage leaving the hospitals must have a chlorine concentration of 1000 per liter.
Esa es una de las razones por la cual se trata con cloro a 3000 por litro las heces de los pacientes y las aguas residuales que salen de los hospitales deben tener una concentración de cloro al 1000 por litro
