冠状病毒病2019年(新冠肺炎)是由新型病毒严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的呼吸系统疾病，自2019年底首次发现以来，已导致全球高发病率和死亡率，一直引起重大公共卫生问题。随着新病原体的发现，与病原体的传播和传播途径有关的问题开始出现。这种迅速传播的SARS-CoV-2病毒已在全球各地的粪便和废水样本中检测到，突显了该病毒通过粪便经口腔传播的可能性。因此，最近几周出现了对病毒在环境中传播以及在娱乐水域感染病毒的风险的担忧，特别是在排放未经充分处理的废水的地方。本文强调需要开展进一步的研究，以调查这种新发现的SARS-CoV-2病毒在废水和娱乐废水中的存在、传染性和生存能力。(C)2020作者。爱思唯尔出版公司(Elsevier B.V.)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the respiratory illness caused by the novel virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has lead to high morbidity and mortality rates world-wide, has been causing major public health concerns since first detected in late 2019. Following identification of novel pathogens, questions in relation to dissemination of the pathogen and transmission routes begin to emerge. This rapidly spreading SARS-CoV-2 virus has been detected in both faecal and wastewater samples across the globe, highlighting the potential for faecal-oral transmission of the virus. As a result, concerns regarding the transmission of the virus in the environment and the risk associated with contracting the virus in recreational waters, particularly where inadequately treated wastewater is discharged, have been emerging in recent weeks. This paper highlights the need for further research to be carried out to investigate the presence, infectivity and viability of this newly identified SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater effluent and receiving recreational waters.
