The novel coronavirus novel coronavirus can survive in water but has a short survival time, so there is no need to worry that the new coronavirus will infect human body through water. Some studies have shown that the coronavirus dies quickly in the wastewater, reducing 99.9% of the coronavirus in 2-3 days. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is also what people need to wash their hands and disinfect frequently.

Dan Yuan and Fatima Alhamed Alduihi Thank you all for your kind answer.
Dear Kaushik,
Water is a big part of your life. You drink it, you wash your hands with it, you bathe in it and a lot of us also swim in it. In fact, more than half of your body weight is water — so you could even say that you practically live in it. And, as you turn on the tap to fill up another glass of water, you may be wondering if the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can live in it, too.
Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) state that there's currently no evidence the new coronavirus is spread through the public water supply. However, the new coronavirus has been found in untreated wastewater — although it's unclear exactly how long the virus can actually survive in it. It's also important to know that all wastewater is heavily treated to kill germs, including viruses, and the CDC reports that there are no known cases of COVID-19 resulting from exposure to untreated wastewater.
I hope helps you
Thanks
The virus that causes COVID-19 hasn't been detected in drinking water. Water treatment facilities have processes to filter and disinfect water before it goes into your home. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/expert-answers/can-coronavirus-spread-food-water/faq-20485479
There's no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 spreads through swimming pools, hot tubs and water playgrounds.
Still, it's a good idea to keep physical distance between you and people you don't live with — at least 6 feet (2 meters) if you can — when you're at a public pool or water park. Set the face mask aside when you're in the water, as a wet mask makes breathing difficult. But wear a face mask when you're not in the water to help minimize the potential for virus spread. Stay home if you're feeling ill. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/expert-answers/can-coronavirus-spread-food-water/faq-20485479
The advent of severe acute respiratory syndrome and its potential environmental transmission indicates the need for more information on the survival of coronavirus in water and wastewater. The survival of representative coronaviruses, feline infectious peritonitis virus, and human coronavirus 229E was determined in filtered and unfiltered tap water (4 and 23°C) and wastewater (23°C). This was compared to poliovirus 1 under the same test conditions. Inactivation of coronaviruses in the test water was highly dependent on temperature, level of organic matter, and presence of antagonistic bacteria. The time required for the virus titer to decrease 99.9% (T99.9) shows that in tap water, coronaviruses are inactivated faster in water at 23°C (10days) than in water at 4°C (>100days). Coronaviruses die off rapidly in wastewater, with T99.9 values of between 2 and 4days. Poliovirus survived longer than coronaviruses in all test waters, except the 4°C tap water. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/225390936_Survival_of_Coronaviruses_in_Water_and_Wastewater

Since most people aren't likely to come into contact with sewage water anyway, here's what you need to know about COVID-19 and the water you do come into contact with — like the water in your home, pool or hot tub, as well as oceans, lakes and rivers. https://www.houstonmethodist.org/blog/articles/2020/may/can-coronavirus-live-in-water/

Definitely yes. There are lots of studies carried out all over the world which has proven this clearly.
