I’ve found some online sources as well. However I prefer to filter the water and not just treat it chemically. The Berky water filters work great and last a long time.

Also from Berkey:

WHAT ABOUT VIRUSES?
The extremely small size of viruses make them difficult for any filter to contain.

Chlorine is the most convenient means of eliminating the water-borne threat of any virus.

Black Berkey water treatment method is an integral part of this method of treating virus-contaminated water supplies.
The accepted standard for the use of chlorine to kill water-borne viruses is 8 to 16 drops of chlorine (common bleach) per gallon of water. ( Better too much than too little)
Add the chlorine to the water in the upper chamber.
Note: Chlorine and its residuals are considered by leading authorities to be harmful to you health.
The Black Berkey Filter elements remove the chlorine and its harmful residuals from the chlorinated water, leaving you with ultra-pure, safe, fresh-tasting water.
