ADEAC, the Association of Distributors and Envasadores of Water in Cooler, has commissioned to the Laboratory Dr. Oliver Rodés a sampling of surfaces in three points of dispensers of water in garrafas and dispensers of water of net. The result of the analyses of the 100 samples made in sources of usual use in companies, offices and rooms of wait, with a maximum of three points of taking of sample of each squad has indicated the absence of coronavirus SARS-COV2. Of this way, stand out that the surfaces analysed are free of coronavirus and confirm the fact that drink dispensers of water is a sure practice.
The points analysed in each dispenser are the ones of contact more usual by the user, therefore, the most susceptible to a possible risk of contagion by Coronavirus. Of this way, followed the following methodology.:
For the dispensers of water in garrafas, the points of taking of sample have been the pulsadores or botoneras and the zone of start of water, that contemplates an external sampling of the filter of the dispenser and the wall that surrounds to the filter.
In relation to the points of taking of sample for the dispensers of water in net, have analysed the botoneras, the filter to drink directly and the filter to fill container.
From ADEAC, remember that according to the WHO (World Health Organisation) and UNICEF (Fund of International Emergency of the United Nations for the Infancy): "At present, there is not evidence on the survival of the virus SARS-CoV-2, causante of the illness known like COVID-19, in the potable water".
