The Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) together with the Entity of Sanitation and Wastewater Treatment in Murcia and the University of Valencia carried out a study in the sewage of all the municipalities of the Region with hospital and Totana. The study that was carried out in the treatment plants of Murcia, Cartagena, Molina de Segura, Lorca and Cieza, for hosting hospitals and Totana, for being the first municipality in the Region with a case of Coronavirus.
Being carried out in all, different debugging processes.
The research is carried out to find out the genetic load of the waters that house excrement, which, in turn, contain the virus load of those infected. The publication of the results of the study a week ago is based on the hypothesis of knowing if the sewage, once purified, can act as a focus of contagion.
Knowing that all the participating treatment plants apply different disinfection processes.
The results were positive, the purified sewage does not contain sufficient viral load to transmit the virus. In addition, in this similar project, carried out in municipalities of the Valencian Community, it was possible to see the possibility of predicting the outbreaks of the pandemic in a period of up to 16 days.
This analysis is carried out in a complementary way to the diagnostic tests and, although the results are not yet decisive, we can foresee an optimistic scenario that will allow us to control this pandemic a little more. From the Socialist Party we encourage caution and containment.
We must continue betting on science and research, if they were before, in this uncertain context they are foreseen as the only way out to beat the virus.
All the precautionary measures are few and, while we do not have the virus scientifically controlled, we must respect all the protocols that the Ministry of Health indicates.
