Officials in the iconic French city of Paris have made public on Sunday (19 April) that they had found "minuscule traces" of the Novel Coronavirus in the city's potable water which is used for the cleaning of streets and watering the greenery in city' parks and gardens, reports Times of India.
Making clear that the drinking water supplies in the city remain free of any contamination, the officials shared that a total of four samples out of 27 were found to have been affected by the minuscule presence of the virus in them.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that in Paris, the drinking water is supplied from a totally independent network, while the non-potable water is sourced from Seine River and Ourcq canal under a separate network.
The city's authorities are now consulting the regional health agency for a risk analysis to decide how to proceed in these circumstances.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
