“…Two VOCs, namely, Delta and Omicron, were rampant in Singapore and dominated the campus wastewater from August to December 2021 and after first January 2022 respectively. 50 The first SARS-CoV-2 wastewater signal was detected on campus in late August 2021, as confirmed by the positive clinical test results of two infected residents. Similar trends were also observed in other countries 51 generally preceding SARS-CoV-2 variants' occurrence in Singapore.…”

“…Since the first COVID-19 infection in Wuhan in December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has rapidly mutated and spawned several different VOCs and lineages. Two VOCs, namely, Delta and Omicron, were rampant in Singapore and dominated the campus wastewater from August to December 2021 and after first January 2022 respectively . The first SARS-CoV-2 wastewater signal was detected on campus in late August 2021, as confirmed by the positive clinical test results of two infected residents.…”

“…Wastewater surveillance is an emerging tool for public health surveillance and has been used to complement clinical surveillance in the monitoring of infectious diseases trends [17][18][19]. It has been used to track the circulation of SARS-CoV-2, as well as other respiratory [20], gastrointestinal [21], and other infectious diseases [22,23].…”

“…Wastewater surveillance became an important public health tool during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wastewater surveillance programs identified outbreaks within communities and individual buildings and it is increasingly being used to detect variants of concern (Anderson-Coughlin et al, 2022;Betancourt et al, 2021;Chua et al, 2023;Corchis-Scott et al, 2021;Gibas et al, 2021;Jarvie et al, 2022;Pico-Tomàs et al, 2023;Rondeau et al, 2023;Scott et al, 2021;Vo et al, 2023;Wong et al, 2021). The goal of wastewater surveillance is to provide data to public health agencies so that they may make informed decisions regarding mitigation strategies such as physical distancing, masking, business closures, and distribution of resources such as prophylactic vaccines.…”
