Podcast 784: Wastewater Surveillance for COVID
Manage episode 329537133 series 2942787
Contributor: Jared Scott, MD
Educational Pearls:
- About 50% of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 will shed the virus in their feces
- Wastewater surveillance can be used to track COVID burden, which may be easier than collating test data from multiple hospitals across a region
- Viral shedding begins 5-7 days prior to symptom onset, so wastewater data can be used to anticipate outbreaks and inform policy and public health initiatives
- Some existing limitations to wastewater surveillance include:
- Reporting by counties were water sources may be mixed
- Septic tanks and other closed water systems will not be counted
- Not all those infected will shed the virus
