The Power Of Wastewater Surveillance & Direct Extraction: Detecting COVID-19 Trends 7 Days Sooner

The results of a wastewater surveillance study demonstrate the capability to detect trends in community COVID-19 cases 7 days before cases are reported.

KEY TAKEAWAY:

By comparing SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater using the direct extraction method to reported clinical cases across the same time period, the results demonstrate the capability of wastewater surveillance to detect trends in community COVID-19 cases 7 days prior to cases being reported.
