Wastewater Surveillance Active
September 2021, wastewater sampling for COVID-19 was carried out by USGS across six states as part of the National Wastewater Surveillance System. Results of this work include the development of an effective high-frequency sampling approach to support rapid wastewater-based epidemiology and provided important and timely data to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Rapid implementation of high-frequency wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2
There have been over 507 million cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), resulting in 6 million deaths globally. Wastewater surveillance has emerged as a valuable tool in understanding SARS-CoV-2 burden in communities. The National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) partnered with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to imAuthorsMeghan M. Holst, John Person, Wiley Jennings, Rory M. Welsh, Michael J. Focazio, Paul M. Bradley, W. Bane Schill, Amy E. Kirby, Zachary A. Marsh

U.S. Geological Survey COVID-19 Wastewater Surveillance
USGS, as part of the National Wastewater Surveillance System, designed and implemented high-frequency sampling of wastewater across six states throughout September 2021, to support tracking of potential increases in COVID-19 infections in communities. COVID-19 viral loads were determined for each sample with the goal of delivering results to the CDC within three days of sampling.
