Covid-19 fragments found in Logan City wastewater

  • Rod Stephen is a former television journalist and has worked as Foreign Editor for the Seven Network, Australian Bureau Chief for TV3 New Zealand, UK correspondent for Seven and ABC radio and as a producer for Reuters TV in London as well as SBS in Sydney and Melbourne before returning to Brisbane to work at 4BC.

Covid-19 fragments have again been found in Logan City wastewater.

It’s the second time traces of the virus were detected at the Loganholme treatment plant.

The facility receives sewage from 35 Logan City suburbs.

Health authorities say the message is clear; anyone with symptoms should get tested, but officials have also previously said,  it could also be a case of viral shedding.

The Logan City community can also be assured that  local drinking water is thoroughly treated through processes that are designed to remove or kill microorganisms before they reach your taps – so there is no risk when drinking water, showering, watering the garden, swimming or other activities.
