Tracking COVID-19 through wastewater - O'Haus
Research is underway in many regions of the world to detect the coronavirus in urban sewage. [Testing wastewater samples from sewage]
From infectious diseases to drug abuse, tracking has been conducted up to now. Currently, they are continuing research to detect the presence of COVID-19 in the community early, aiming to explore signs of a second wave and provide warnings in advance. These studies are believed to help determine in advance whether additional social preventive measures are needed in urban areas. Around the world, specialized teams, including scientists, government officials, and water quality managers, are being organized to investigate samples from sewage systems. Wastewater analysis is considered one of the barometers for virus detection. Individual studies suggest that there may be a two-week incubation period before the coronavirus appears. However, investigations of wastewater from urine and feces have detected the virus approximately three days later. In Hungary, a team of experts is conducting a multi-phase investigation. In Phase 1, they are examining changes in wastewater in nine cities in Hungary over a period of five months. Researchers collect new samples every two weeks from affected areas.
