Daily SARS-CoV-2 produced in sewer by 1000 SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals from by shedding routes.
SARS-CoV-2 has been one of the biggest and changing viruses. Since the rise of this virus it has been detected in various places. Individuals infected with this virus shed genetic material by saliva, coughing and urine which is released into sewage and wastewater surveillance.Their research was focused on how SARS-CoV-2 RNA filled domestic wastewater was incoming by fecal shedding of SARS-CoV-2. They began their research by collecting urine, stool and sputum sewer contributions from infected and healthy individuals. They moved on to a “single shedder” where they focused on the contribution of saliva, sputum, stool and urine in four different scenarios. This is important since it still affects us today and the future since it will only help it increase.
