Boiling will ensure water is virus free


Abstract

LETTER: The water that Malaysians consume originates from surface water sources that have been treated in treatment plants under stringent control and complies with the minimum quality standards set by the Health Ministry as per the guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The physical, chemical and microbiological components of water are checked regularly. Hence, according to the National Water Services Commission, the country's water supply is not only clean and safe to consume directly but is also free of E. coli bacteria. But what about the presence of the Covid-19 virus?
