If someone is infected with coronavirus, coronavirus particles will usually be present in their excrement, which is carried away into the sewers. By testing wastewater samples collected at treatment plants, we can find out how much of the virus is present in a given area. Such testing is still experimental. In the long run we hope that wastewater testing will enable early detection and monitoring of coronavirus. Find out more about testing wastewater for coronavirus in the explanation of data presented.
