Abstract

Virus particles can be found in the inlet of sewage treatment plants, ie in untreated wastewater. A quantitative detection of this viral RNA can provide information on the extent to which the disease is rampant in the catchment area of ​​the sewage treatment plants. In this way, the spread of the disease can be recorded. Such an analysis tool can support health authorities in developing recommendations for action.
