I didn't know any contamination of the virus in drinking water see also under Aquatech Corona virus, as there is written no contamination risk in municipal water treatment. But there should be research how long can exist the virus in municipal water depend on Chlorine concentration. A lot of people have open cans /glasses with water for drinking. Turn empty glasses around and or cover if you are not alone in rooms. Same for open food sources.

What is so far established is that the virus transmission is not waterborne otherwise the common gospel of washing and washing would have been futile in areas where aesthetically and bacteriologically suitable water is scarce. It is also still not established whether airborne covid 19 transmission is possible. I therefore feel that at this stage and without sufficient research on this barely 5 month old phenomenon,one can contempolate or dismiss either an airborne or water borne contamination/transmission.

Standard water disinfection historically works very well for viruses. So, there is no mystery. Respiratory viruses are notoriously airborne as well as often mucous membrane contact. If corona were waterborne, EVERYBODY who drinks tap water would be sick. They aren't.
