“We evaluated the likelihood of transmission of the new coronavirus via water. Based on our knowledge of viruses and water, we showed that drinking water is very well protected against all viruses, including the new coronavirus.
Because KWR has been carrying out research for almost ten years into substances in urban sewage water, such as drugs, and coronavirus is also found in stools, our microbiologists suspected that they could also find the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 from the stools of infected people in sewage water. In the past weeks, our microbiologists conducted several investigations at various sewage treatment plants in the Netherlands.”
