Description:Wastewater surveillance is an efficient and robust tool to track community spread of COVID-19 and other diseases.
CDC developed the National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) to coordinate and support the nation’s capacity to monitor for the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19 in wastewater.
Pieces of the virus enter wastewater through the stool of infected people. Testing and tracking trends in wastewater complements other surveillance systems for COVID-19 and can show if virus levels are increasing or decreasing in a community. This information can be a critical early warning for authorities of new outbreaks and inform local decision-making, such as where to have mobile testing and vaccination sites.
