The recycled water that has been treated to observe viral load, is completely free of the Covid-19 virus

A research team at Khalifa University, in collaboration with
Department of Energy in Abu Dhabi and other partners, have identified that recycled water from the UAE that has been treated to observe viral load, is completely free of the Covid-19 virus, and is therefore safe for irrigation use.

The researchers at the Centre for Biotechnology and the Centre for Membranes and Advanced Water Technology at Khalifa University were unable to find any evidence of the virus in the treated water samples, taken from a number of waste water treatment plants across the UAE.
