Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2), a novel member of the Coronaviridae family, has been identified as the etiologic agent of an ongoing pandemic
of severe pneumonia known as COVID-19.1 To date there
have been millions of cases of COVID-19 diagnosed in 184
countries with case fatality rates ranging from 1.8% in
Germany to 12.5% in Italy.2 Limited diagnostic testing
capacity and asymptomatic and oligosymptomatic infections
result in significant uncertainty in the estimated extent of
SARS-CoV-2 infection.3 Recent reports have documented that
infection with SARS-CoV-2 is accompanied by persistent
shedding of virus RNA in feces in 27%4 to 89% of patients at
densities from 0.8 to 7.5 log10 gene copies per gram.5 The
presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in feces raises the potential to
survey sewage for virus RNA to inform epidemiological
monitoring of COVID-19, which we refer to as wastewaterbased epidemiology (WBE),6 but is also known as environmental surveillance. [-]
