COVID-19 mass testing: harnessing the power of wastewater epidemiology

2021-05-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> COVID-19 patients shed SARS-CoV-2 RNA in their faeces. We hypothesised that detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) influent could be a valuable tool to assist in public health decision making. We aimed to rapidly develop and validate a scalable methodology for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater that could be implemented at a national level a...
