TL;DR: A laboratory protocol to quantify viral titers in raw sewage via qPCR analysis and validate results with sequencing analysis suggests that the number of positive cases estimated from wastewater viral titer is orders of magnitude greater than the numberof confirmed clinical cases and therefore may significantly impact efforts to understand the case fatality rate and progression of disease.

TL;DR: Wastewater surveillance at a major urban treatment facility in Massachusetts found the presence of SARS-CoV-2 at high titers in the period from March 18 - 25 using RT-qPCR, and the identity of the PCR product was confirmed by direct DNA sequencing.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used longitudinal wastewater analysis to track SARS-CoV-2 dynamics in wastewater at a major urban wastewater treatment facility in Massachusetts, between early January and May 2020.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the SARS-CoV-2 concentration and track its dynamics in wastewater at a major urban wastewater treatment facility in Massachusetts, between early January and May 2020.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a nationwide campaign to monitor SARS-CoV-2 in the wastewater of 159 counties in 40 U.S. states from February 18 to June 2, 2020.
