Water Transmission and COVID-19:
Can the COVID-19 virus spread through drinking water?
"The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking water. Conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those in most munisipal drinking water systems, should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19." - CDC
