| Summary |
"Wastewater surveillance is a community-level approach for monitoring disease or chemical biomarkers that are excreted in human urine and feces and collected in sewers. Since early 2020, with the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, scientists and public health practitioners across the globe have been developing methods and implementing programs to track severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, in wastewater. Even though SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory virus, wastewater surveillance can be used to track its spread since it can be shed in the feces of individuals who are symptomatic and asymptomatic (including pre-symptomatic). Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 levels in untreated wastewater relies on approaches and technologies that have been and continue to be rapidly deployed and evaluated by federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, states, wastewater utilities, universities, and industry. Despite the rapidly evolving science in this field, these entities were able to establish wastewater surveillance programs while developing sampling and analytical methods. The results of these programs provide useful information to assist communities in their public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic--highlighting the potential for wastewater monitoring to serve as a complementary approach to current and future infectious disease surveillance systems."--Executive summary |
