Summary:
The wastewater surveillance of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may provide information on the potential transmission of COVID-19 infection when mass clinical testing declines. In the present study, a total of 1110 wastewater samples were collected from Hisar, Haryana (India), from August 2022 to June 2023. The SARS-CoV-2 detection in the wastewater correlated with clinical cases of COVID-19 in Hisar, suggesting that wastewater-based epidemiology can potentially complement classical testing of COVID-19 and may serve as an early warning system to prevent potential disease transmission and consequential outbreaks.
