COVID-19: reported cases of contamination and effluents and drinking water.

Published by in Case Studies

Hello to all researchers.  I wonder if we have reported cases of the presence of COVID-19 in treated effluents or drinking water? 

If so, could they provide the location and analytical information and results?  Because we can have more severe cases of dissemination exponentially if they occur.

Drinking water treatment is ...

Drinking water treatment is effective. Chlorination works very well for coronavirus as with essentially all viruses. So, water suppliers and regulators should be most concerned about assuring good disinfection, and pay less attention to THMs etc.

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.
