Drinking water is one of the critical resources, but still not accessible to everyone. In case of a crisis event, this state can even worsen depending on the manner of the crisis event. Therefore, it is important to protect drinking water resources and monitor activities that can threaten the safety of drinking water e. g. industrial, agricultural activities, building of technical infrastructure or insufficient management of water facilities etc.
Although there has not been in-depth research, there is evidence of oral-faecal spread and Covid-19 precedented with drug abuse monitoring and SARS. With incoming crisis situations such as flash floods or others there is a probability of contamination of water resources which can become new transmitter of the disease and health hazard for emergency workers (e.g. firefighters, paramedics, policemen, troopers etc) during rescue works and for evacuated citizens and animals as well. Occurrence of Covid-19 in faecal samples of both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients was reported [1]. Then was independently reported presence of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage and wastewater by researchers in Australia [2] and Netherlands [3][4]. In these publications was oral-faecal transmission considered not so important. Flash floods and potentially other crisis situations can overfill sewage system and wastewater can contaminate water resource with latent viruses. Main objective of the article is to determine safety procedures and monitoring because safety of drinking water is in time of international safety crisis one of few ways of protection against this virus. |
