Abstract

The emergence of the pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has generated a lot of attention globally and forced the world to come to its knees through its sporadic spread and eventual increase in the number of infected persons and mortality. However, many means of infection have been described but little is said about any prospective spread through water, since water is a vital means of life support for all. So it is of great importance to scrutinize if it is possible for the COVID19 virus to be spread through water and what can be done to stay protected from the COVID19 virus should there be a possibility of waterborne spread of the coronavirus. A quick review of the virus, its pathogenicity tendencies and what can be done to inactivate the virus in water before being consumed was done vis-?-vis the intervention of suspended sediment load present in water.
