Editor's Note
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on February 4 announced that it is adding wastewater surveillance to its COVID-19 dashboard data tracking system.
The CDC will track the spread of COVID-19 variants based on measurements at more than 500 wastewater monitoring sites across the US.
This method may identify positive COVID-19 findings up to 6 days before clinical cases are reported.
Estimates suggest between 40% and 80% of people with COVID-19 shed viral RNA in their feces, making wastewater and sewage an important opportunity for monitoring the spread of infection, the CDC says.
