Analysis of Cars-CoV-2 in wastewater
Tracking the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater allows to monitor the spread of the virus in the population at regional and subregional level, several days earlier compared to data obtained from screening of patient samples. This wastewater monitoring is no replacement for current clinical testing, yet it is pivotal in early detection of future changes in the epidemic and the tracking of novel outbreaks in specific regions. With this project we will detect SARS-CoV-2 in sanitary wastewater from larger complexes, this to evaluate the feasibility and value of increasing the granularity of monitoring points for surveillance.
