our study shows that the mouth is a route of infection as well as an incubator for the SARS-CoV-2

The potential of the virus to infect multiple areas of the body might help explain the wide-ranging symptoms experienced by COVID-19 patients, including oral symptoms such as taste loss, dry mouth and blistering. Moreover, the findings point to the possibility that the mouth plays a role in transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to the lungs

This comes from a GOV website and speaks of the ADA findings

In the new study, posted Oct. 27 to the preprint database medRxiv, researchers predicted which mouth tissues might be most vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2

"This research mightily underscores the importance of the public health measures we know are effective — masks, social distancing and handwashing — whether you have symptoms or not," Byrd said. In terms of how oral infection fits into the big picture of COVID-19, "there is much to learn about where SARS-CoV-2 begins, travels within our bodies and finally is cleared," he said.

This is, I believe, the same researchers as above, but shows an earlier awareness.
