MINISCULE traces of the deadly coronavirus have been detected in Paris' non-potable water, which is used for cleaning streets and watering parks, but the city's clean drinking water is at 'no risk' of contamination, a city official said on Sunday.
France on Monday reported more than 20,000 deaths from the coronavirus, becoming the fourth country to hit that grim number after Italy, Spain and the United States. The Paris water authority’s laboratory found miniscule amounts of the virus in four of 27 samples collected from across the capital, prompting an immediate shutdown of the network as a “precautionary” measure, Célia Blauel, the capital’s top environmental official, said.
