The fate of SARS-CoV-2 in WWTPs points out the sludge line as a suitable spot for monitoring
Sabela Balboa,Miguel Mauricio-Iglesias,Rodriguez S,Lucía Martínez-Lamas,Francisco J. Vasallo,Benito Regueiro,Benito Regueiro,Juan M. Lema +7 more
TL;DR: The sludge thickener is identified as a suitable spot for detecting SARS-CoV-2 particles thanks to its higher solids concentration and longer residence time (less sensitive to dilution caused by precipitation) and the role of WWTPs in COVID-19 mitigation.

Understanding and managing uncertainty and variability for wastewater monitoring beyond the pandemic: Lessons learned from the United Kingdom national COVID-19 surveillance programmes
TL;DR: In this article , a discussion of measurement uncertainty associated with surveillance of wastewater, focusing on lessons-learned from the UK programmes monitoring COVID-19 is presented, showing that sources of uncertainty impacting measurement quality and interpretation of data for public health decision-making, are varied and complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 Pandemic in South Africa.
TL;DR: Rigorous analysis of the use of a compartmental model to analyse the transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa reveals that its associated continuum of disease-free equilibria is globally-asymptotically stable whenever the control reproduction number is less than unity.
