Description:

The COVID-19 pandemic made the value of sewage clear. For epidemiologists, CDC’s National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) provides invaluable insights by helping identify community infection trends before they appear in clinical cases. In 2022, NWSS enhanced detection of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. But perhaps equally critical were efforts to adapt wastewater surveillance for other emerging infectious disease challenges.

CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) launched NWSS in September 2020 to track the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in community-level wastewater samples collected from sewersheds across the United States. Building on initial investments, CDC worked with public health, utility, private sector, academic, and federal partners to track SARS-CoV-2 and scale the surveillance system to include an estimated 1,200 testing sites across the United States, including in territories and on tribal lands.
