Long-term biological surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in critical points for municipal sewage catchment in light of wastewater-based epidemiology, public health and environmental hygiene.

ABSTRACT: Routine monitoring and wastewater-based bio-surveillance represents a strong supporting tool for following and understanding SARS-CoV-2 endemicity or epidemic dynamics in society. The main objective of the research was a two-year qualitative and quantitative monitoring program of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage in a model urban agglomeration (the capital city), including the development of an algorithm for action in this area and a joint evaluation of procedures with a water and sewage company (public administration sector). To resolve problems, we continuously investigated inflows and outflows of four wastewater treatment plants and raw sewage of the whole catchment (including healthcare units, airport and military areas) within the Warsaw capital city for SARS-CoV-2, during two waves of COVID-19 in
