Does anyone know if the Leviticus 15:16-18 still remains valid today, or is this done away with?

Those passages are guidelines for sanitary living both then and today, however the OT also carried with it a “spiritual clean/unclean” characteristic in which if you were “unclean” by not properly following the rules you could not participate in certain religious celebrations. Today we are not “unclean” in the religious sense but only the physical/sanitation sense.
 
In the OT (mainly Leviticus) there are found 613 laws, mostly purity laws, some conduct, etc.

These were fulfilled in the NT by Christ. They no longer apply - we are now able to eat/touch pigs, kosher is no longer an issue, etc. The verse you cite is part of this.

We fall under a new law - the law of Christ, the law of the Gospel. This is the law of love - true caritas.
