NO ACTIVE COVID19 CASES IN SNOWY MOUNTAINS

Please visit this link for latest Snowy Mountains region covid19 statistics – NSW Local Health

Further information:

Below are some key dot points to note:

COVID in Sewage

·         SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 is just one of many viruses present in sewage

·         Sewage also contains detergents and other substances that inactivate (kill) SARS-CoV-2 before it reaches the sewage treatment plant

·         SARS-CoV-2 is easily inactivated (killed) by usual sewage treatment processes, including chlorine and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection

·         Sewage is treated before discharge to the environment using UV disinfection, this is regulated by the NSW EPA.

Drinking Water

• The drinking water is safe to drink
• Drinking water is treated before being delivered to your tap
• Drinking water treatment is designed to inactivate (kill) or remove a range of microorganism, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa.
• Drinking treatment is designed and operated to inactivate (kill) or remove the most hardy microorganisms.
• SARS-CoV-2 is not a hardy virus in the environment.
• No additional or modified treatment is required beyond the current ‘business as usual’ drinking water treatment .

The Sewage Surveillance Research Program

·         This research program detects viral fragments of SARS-CoV-2, not infectious viruses.

·         The aim of the sewage surveillance research program is to test untreated sewage for fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that can be integrated with health data for COVID-19 to support NSW Health’s response.

·         Viral fragments may be shed into sewage from stools for a number of weeks by persons infected with SARS-CoV-2, and shedding can extend beyond the infectious period.

·         Viral fragments can also enter the sewer when washed off hands and body via sinks and showers

·         Sampling is being undertaken in a number of regional and metropolitan areas under this research program.
