Measurement of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater tracks community infection dynamics
J Peccia et al, Nature Biotechnology, September 18, 2020

We measured SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in primary sewage sludge in the New Haven, Connecticut, during the COVID-19 outbreak in Spring 2020. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected throughout the more than 10-week study and, when adjusted for time lags, tracked the rise and fall of cases seen in SARS-CoV-2 clinical test results and local COVID-19 hospital admissions.
