| Abstract: |
| COVID-19 wastewater surveillance sampling is basically the usage of “wastewater/sewage” in which we test SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) RNA to target Wastewater Surveillance in Pakistan. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| COVID-19 wastewater surveillance sampling strategy is basically employed to predict the coronavirus hotspots. So, in the current era of COVID-19 it is necessary to predict the COVID-19 hotspots so that these particular areas could be sealed where coronavirus been predicted. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Every person of the society could be benefited from COVID-19 wastewater surveillance sampling strategy. |
| How will the solution works |
| • We can implement a COVID-19 wastewater surveillance sampling strategy by considering these specific recommendations:Sampling Strategy: Where, How, and What to Sample?Testing MethodsData Reporting and AnalyticsPublic Health Interpretation and UseTargeted Wastewater Surveillance at Facilities, Institutions, and Workplaces. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Competitors are of clinical technicians. SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in sewage serves as a COVID-19 indicator that is independent of healthcare-seeking behaviors and access to clinical testing. Depending on the frequency of testing,sewage surveillance can be a leading indicator of changes in COVID-19 |
