Abstract

We proposed a LAMP based detection kit as a surveillance tool for screening of waste-water samples of communities based on wastewater-based epidemiology WBE. Our proposed point of care LAMP based detection kit can trace covid-19 genetic material in wastewater of communities for identification of asymptomatic patients.
