Article Synopsis
- Wastewater surveillance proved helpful alongside clinical testing during COVID-19 but faces challenges in small settings like dorms and assisted living due to sample collection and processing issues.
- Research at the University of Delaware compared wastewater and clinical COVID-19 data, finding that SARS-CoV-2 levels in wastewater correlated with clinical results, particularly when fecal shedding was considered over 21 and 30 days.
- The study also highlighted that SARS-CoV-2 detection varied by dormitory and was influenced by sampling times, with higher detection rates occurring early in the morning and late at night.
