A recent scientific report showed that the Covid-19 virus was detected in the sewerage system in the Netherlands.

The Ministry of Environment will conduct a comprehensive study on the risk of Covid-19 to determine whether the virus can spread through the sewerage system.

He said the study needed to be done immediately as a recent scientific report by the National Institute of Public Health and Environment in the Netherlands showed that the genetic material of the Covid-19 virus was detected in the sewerage system in the Netherlands.

He said the cooperation with UTM and TU Delft was to determine the health risk posed not only to workers in the sewerage and water supply industry, but also those involved in water supply management as well as consumers.
