Water Webinar Series: Sewage Screening as an Early Outbreak Alert Tool and SARS-Covid-2 Fate in the Aquatic Environment—9 July 2020
This scientific webinar aims to share and discuss the latest findings on Sars-Covid-2 in the aquatic environment and, particularly, in wastewater and recreational waters. Fecal-oral transmission has been already demonstrated for the new Coronavirus, but very little is known on the role of sewage as a pool for viral RNA or for intact viral infectious particles. Moreover, one of the potential ways to reach the aquatic environment is through the discharge of both treated and untreated urban sewage, but we are far from understanding how the viral genetic information may disseminates within the aquatic system. As the summer period in the Northern Hemisphere approaches, the potential risk in recreational waters (inland and costal) should be mastered.
