Bodily fluids carrying the infection can obviously infect someone exposed to them.

The infected person was "at large" for a few days before he decided to get checked in.

His bodily fluids and all biological wasted produced by the person, would have entered the environment in which he lived, and his fecal and urine matter would have gone down the drain, and who knows where it ended up.

The virus is not out there, and not just in the victim's body. It's only a matter of time before somebody "encounters" the "distributed virus" and gets sick, and won't know what it is, and will further spread the disease.

People in sewage treatment plants down the line, should be made aware of what could happen. Decontamination will be hard to do once the virus gets out there, and it could already be out there.

Correction for a sentence: “The virus is NOW out there, and not just in the victim’s body”.

I can’t argue with that. I don’t know the full potential, but it could be very problematic.
