| Abstract | Wastewater represents a pooled biological sample of the contributing community and thus a resource for assessing community health. Here, we show that emergence, spread, and disappearance of SARS-CoV-2 infections caused by variants of concern are reflected in the presence of variant genomic RNA in wastewater settled solids. This work highlights an important public health use case for wastewater.
Changes in the circulation of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) may require changes in the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as they have the potential to evade vaccines and pharmaceutical interventions and may be more transmissive than other SARS-CoV-2 variants. As such, it is essential to track and prevent their spread in susceptible communities. We developed digital reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assays for mutations characteristic of VOCs and used them to quantify those mutations in samples of wastewater settled solids collected from a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) during different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Wastewater concentrations of single mutations characteristic of each VOC, normalized by the concentration of a conserved SARS-CoV-2 N gene, correlate with regional estimates of the proportion of clinical infections caused by each VOC. These results suggest that targeted RT-PCR assays can be used to detect variants circulating in communities and inform the public health response to the pandemic.
