Risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection from contaminated water systems 2020-06-20 .txt text/plain 3147 196 57 Collectively this evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 virus can survive 45 within water and the viral loads within untreated sewage effluent are likely high in countries 46 of high infection rates, a portion of which is viable virus, and therefore water contaminated 47 We note that adenoviruses are 122 known to be particularly resilient, and therefore likely to represent an upper estimate, but 123 also that our selected range is consistent with the 10 -3 value used elsewhere for assessing 124 viral risk in water systems (eg 14 ), including one assessment for SARS CoV-2 transmission 125 risk to wastewater workers 18 . Collectively this means that if a drinking water source 156 was to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 the standard virus removal and disinfection 157 approaches of ultraviolet exposure and chlorination may not reduce the virus below 158 detectable limits. ./cache/cord-308342-ycdok8fc.txt ./txt/cord-308342-ycdok8fc.txt
